Remember Ol**c? Well this is our new and improved version. Steps of Knowledge is a Double Barreled Imperial Mexican Mole Stout aged in whiskey barrels before being transferred to additional, fresh barrels for a further 18 month long rest. Specifically Dickel, Buffalo Trace, Brandy, and Woodford Reserve Double Oak barrels. We then conditioned these double barrel aged imperial stouts on a variety of dried gourmet chiles, cinnamon, chocolate, and vanilla. Adjuncts shine bright in this beer. Chile heat is present and up front in the flavor, a nice tingle of spice on the palate, followed by chocolate fudge, enticing cinnamon aroma, and nice vanilla backing to round it out. The barrel heat on this plays well with the chile heat resulting in a lusciously complex stout.

Rated July 2021. 12oz orange waxed bottle pours with a nice deep dark colored body that supports a thin ring of tan bubbles. The aroma offers up dark roasted malts, dark chocolate, some booze to the snoot, a bit of nuttiness and faint cinnamon right before the boozy heat takes over. The taste delivers smooth slick sweet velvety dark chocolate and thin dark roasted maltiness as well as some modest oaky barrel character. Toward midway the layer of boozy spirits muscles forward in the experience creating a pleasing counter to the fairly decedent notes to this point. Amidst the barrel notes a dark fruity brandy sensation creates another level of yum. Into the finish a murmur of cinnamon spice is noticed just as a mild chili pepper heat bubbles weakly to the surface. This is well executed and a terrific sipper.
