We age our Double Black in assorted Bourbon barrels for up to 12 months to achieve a robust and complex beer with a smooth, chocolatey, semi-roasted malt profile that sweetly balances out the doubled strength. From there, our Vanilla Aged Double Black is aged on whole bean vanilla in the barrel for the final 3 months. These beers are the pride of Bent Paddle, and our patience is your reward. Cheers!
