About This Beer
The barrel barons at Cycle Brewing are renowned in the world of dark pours. According to Hop Culture, “Cycle Brewing spends an inordinate amount of time perfecting the process of barrel aging. And it shows.” And their R2 Rare DOS Buffalo Trace — aged for two years in Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels — is worth all the hype and more!
Tasting Notes
All that time spent luxuriating in boozy oak imbues the sip with hints of Kentucky’s finest. Caramel tones and vanillins bolster the malts into sweet cocoa kisses, while toasty coffee notes complement a complex hint of leather and tobacco. And it's all finished with a slightly effervescent splash of whiskey spice.

These R2 brews from Cycle are some of the best barrel aged beers out there. Crazy deep flavors and a super boozy finish.
