Big Bad Baptist Reserve
Barrel-aged Imperial Stout
Every year our brewers set aside some of the best tasting barrels to make a special blend. Sometimes sourced from single barrels, sometimes a blend of many, Reserve is an exercise in subtlety and nuance. Each flavoring component is added in just the right amounts to create the perfect balance of tastes. Crazy flavors were not the focus of this release, rather we wanted to the smoothest, most delicious blend of this legendary beer. Fewer than 600 cases were produced with an even more limited run of draft.
