The company describes the beer as having "rich caramel notes [that] emerge from the depths of the IPA, highlighting strong malt character while the bourbon barrel-aging develops the complexity."

The slightly sweet beer started shipping Monday. It is available in 750 milliliter bottles and four-packs of 12 ounce bottles. The suggested retail price is $11.99 for 75 milliliter bottles and $14.99 for four-packs.
