With the craft scene growing at an explosive rate, it’s hard to keep up with the hottest breweries and emerging trends. But with today’s Bourbon Barrel-Aged Ink from Rhinegeist Brewery, you’ll taste the latest brew from one of Thrillist’s Hottest Breweries in America Right Now — And it’s a heated doozy!

Aromas of dark cocoa with silky caramel waft amongst hints of molasses, making your mouth immediately start to salivate. Dark fruits from sugared plums to vibrant cherries blend with bitter chocolate in a melody of full-bodied flavor. The patient process of barrel-aging draws robust notes of heated bourbon balanced with oak nuttyness, as well as a spicy 12.7% ABV.

In a special preview tasting, 2018 BBA Ink sold out quicker than you can say 12-month bourbon barrel joy. Those fortunate enough to get a taste have rated it 4.24 on UT and are left speechless, except for one exclamation, “Wow!”

Save yourself a flight (and a really hard scavenger hunt) by trying one of the most talked about beers from one of the most talked about breweries in America. Or as Will Ferrell would say: “Rhinegeist… so hot right now.”
