Great Lakes 2017 Barrel Aged Imperial Smoked Porter Release Coming 9/23

More exciting barrel-aged beer release news from Great Lakes Brewing:

For the first time ever, Great Lakes Brewing Co. is proud to announce the release of the dark, smoky, and deliciously complex Barrel Aged Imperial Smoked Porter, our newest barrel aged brew perfect for the chillier days ahead.
Our rust belt vistas wouldn’t be the same without a few towering smokestacks, and our robust Imperial Porter wouldn’t be the same without its unique blend of oak smoked malt and rich, sweet muscovado sugar. Aged in bourbon barrels, this slightly smoky sipper is Cleveland crafted with style and grit.
