This particular bourbon barrel beer is a stout that was created by Khoi Nguyen, master brewer over at Ghost Monkey, with the brew then spending over a year undergoing aging in Striped Pig bourbon barrels. This delicious stout was released in only 111 bottles. Considering that [bourbon barrel aging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snouttotail) results in beers being imbued with the special characteristics of its particular batch and barrel, each and every one of the 111 bottles well and truly offers a one-of-a-kind drinking experience.
