Reflection Chamber (2024) // Barrel-aged Barleywine Grand Cru
Reflection Chamber brings together some of our best barrels, giving us the opportunity to put together exciting blends. The 2024 blend consists solely of barleywines aged in Heaven Hill barrels for 21-28 months. These barrels were specifically held back for Madera Members as we earmarked them as being the most complex and unique when we pulled samples and set blends. On the nose and initial sip you get a traditional barleywine brightness consisting of bing cherry and plums. This blend marries rich maltiness and barrel character with notes of burnt sugar, praline, and vanilla in the mid-palate and finish.

Circle's End // Barrel-aged Imperial Stout
Circle's End consists of various base stouts aged in Willett Rye and Bourbon barrels for 23-24 month. We specifically selected these barrels for their richness and how beautiful the beers were without any adjuncts, which is everything we want in a straightforward barrel-aged stout. Expect indulgent notes of milk chocolate, molasses, marshmallow nougat, and a balanced level of barrel character.

Dormant Crown // Imperial Winter Ale w/ Coconut, Cinnamon & Maple
Dormant Crown was aged in Buffalo Trace and Heaven Hill Rye barrels for 12-33 months. After racking out of the barrels, we conditioned the beer on 55lbs/bbl of toasted and raw coconut, as well as cinnamon and maple. This flavor combination was created with nostalgia in mind. Dormant Crown reminds us of macaroons, french toast, and fireside mornings. While spring is just around the corner, this might just be the last reason of the year to look forward to winter.
