Deprecophobia (2021)

In early 2019 we summoned VooDoo Brewing to Anaheim to compare and combine our unique barrel aging techniques. We conjured a Double Mash Imperial Stout recipe built to withstand the curse of time in twelve extraordinary Heaven Hill bourbon barrels, where it stayed in silent slumber for two years.

There are no adjuncts, there is no post-barrel sorcery. Deprecophobia is a dripping portrait of grain, wood, and spirit.

Swirl a glass to awaken aromas of chocolate, leather, and brittle autumn leaves. Apparitions of raisin, cookie dough, and tootsie roll meld on the palate as shadows of brown sugar creep along the edges. Pinpricks of carbonation dissolve the sweetness, revealing the tobacco-toned oak tannin of a hauntingly dry finish. Show Less
