Rate Beer Best 2019! A 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. Deliciously complex.

    Rated Feb. 2019. Pint can pours with a deep dark mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up chocolate, molasses, vanilla drizzled oak and bourbon to sweet smelling rum notes. The taste delivers a blend of molasses sweetened dark roasted malts, dark roasted coffee and then some chocolate flowing into boozy spicy oak. To midway moderate levels of bourbon and rum are noticed as well as an integrated vanilla sweetness. Pretty nice sipper where there's a formidable barrel character but still plenty of beer notes to provide an effortless balance.
