About this release

The ultimate version of Bissell Brothers' annual holiday maple porter: the Double Barrel edition of 2025. Aged for 10 months in New England Distilling Bourbon and Rye casks, followed by another 12 months in Dad's Hat Rye casks. This results in an exceptionally complex beer with deep maple, vanilla, rye, and dark fruit notes. Bissell Brothers Brewing Company from Portland, Maine, is known worldwide as a pioneer of the New England IPA and brings that same expertise and precision to their barrel-aged porters. Their ability to create balance in complex brews really shines here. With an alcohol content of 16.2 percent and a flavor profile that emerges from more than a year and a half of aging in premium whiskey and rye casks, this beer is a masterpiece of patience and craftsmanship. The combination of bourbon and rye influences results in a rich texture with subtle spicy notes that blend perfectly with the characteristic maple sweetness. This is a rare and unforgettable experience for the true barrel-aged enthusiast who appreciates layered flavors and a long finish. A bottle for special moments.
