I couldn't believe it. I'd been begging for more with no luck. And then they arrived - the last bottles of Fifty Fifty's - 2013 Eclipse Imperial Stout.
A highly coveted beer that gives you an unparalleled tasting experience. Here's why:
Eclipse is not just one beer, it's ten.
You see, this masterpiece is carefully crafted by taking very small batches of the award-winning beer "Totality Imperial Stout" - rated 98 out of 100 - and aging each batch for an additional half a year in a bourbon/whiskey barrel from one of the world's finest, high-end distilleries.
One variation of Eclipse was aged in Elijah Craig Bourbon 12-year oak barrels from Louisville, Kentucky. While another slowly matured inside High West's premium bourbon barrels from Park City, Utah.
10 different top-tier barrels were used in total. Giving you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sample and compare up to 10 different barrel-aged variations of the same base beer. You'll experience first hand how each style of barrel imparts its own subtle and unique flavors on this already delicious beer.
I got my hands on 6 of the most sought after bottles. Each marked with a different color wax top, representing the type of barrel it was aged in.
Grabbing a bottle of each makes for one of the most enjoyable six-packs of beer you'll ever get to try. Or use it as a truly thoughtful gift for a friend who appreciates rare, small-batch beers.
