With a starting gravity of 26.5ºP and clocking in at 12.5% ABV, it’s easy to see why we call this bold brew a DOUBLE Imperial Stout. The base beer exhibits roasted, coffee-like aromas and flavors, with hints of caramel and just a touch of bitterness that balances the malt sweetness.
After primary fermentation, Owd Mac’s is transferred to American whiskey barrels for extended aging, picking up amazing aromas and flavors of vanilla, bourbon whiskey, figs, and port wine along the way. The original Owd Mac’s found a home in barrels from the McCormick distillery in Weston, MO, and the name Mac comes from this tradition. This iteration of Owd Mac’s was aged on freshly emptied Templeton Rye whiskey barrels, which lend a bold, spicy character of rye whiskey to the finish. Aged for three years in these special barrels,

Owd Mac’s is truly a rare offering.
