truly warming blend of barrel aged Imperial Porter. Devil’s Claw is the latest mash up of barrel aged beers packaged under the Cactus Catalog series. This time we carefully selected six separate barrels of Who Hit John, all aged nearly a year, and blended into something transcendental. Woodford Reserve Double Oak, Buffalo Trace (this one had over a pound of vanilla beans per BT barrel), and some very eccentric Rum barrels which previously held whiskey were all the vessels in which this blend was respectively aged in. Rich chocolate/toffee hits you up front with thick marshmallow like mouthfeel from the vanilla. Coconut & molasses like qualities chime in around the finish reminding you that there is definitely some rum presence in this beer.

Black, gluggy, low carbed. Smells a bit salty, soy, rum, bourbon. Great thick and smooth body. Taste is heavy, intense. Loads of leathery, high quality rum. Soft bourbon, light vanilla oak. Pretty savoury beer, some subtle roastyness. Complex and delish.
