The 'Queen's [Legacy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legacy-kit)' barrel-aged stout is named after Victoria Eady Butler, the venerated master blender and brewer who is the great-great granddaughter of 'Nearest' Green, who is recognized as the first known African-American master distiller. The beer itself comes in at an ABV of 7.6 percent and offers a blend of flavors that combine dry coffee, fruit and sweet goodness, with the 'Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey' barrels lending delicious notes of caramel and vanilla to make a beer that is multi-layered in flavor and satisfaction.
