Club/Brewer Notes:
A new beer from Clown Shoes Beer is “not as hot as a Lava Unidragon erupting from a volcano of doom…but close enough.” La Bestia Furioso is a “Mexican-style imperial stout” aged in both bourbon and rum barrels with ancho, chipotle and habanero peppers.

94	Avery Brewing Company Uncle Jacob’s Stout American-Style Imperial Stout \| 15.9% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: FATBOY

Club/Brewer Notes:
Jacob Spears, our 6th Great Grand Uncle, is credited as the first distiller to label his whiskey “Bourbon.” He built his distillery in Bourbon County Kentucky in 1790 — 203 years before we began brewing. While obviously a bit too late to produce Uncle Jacob’s wash, we’ve instead created something far more complex. In his honor, we present this robust, silky smooth, full-bodied and altogether extremely American rendition of an Imperial Stout aged for 6 months in the very finest Bourbon barrels. This explains a lot about our penchant for big brews! It’s in our blood!
