One of the most epic beer tasting experiences you will ever have: ECLIPSE\u2122.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Imperial Stouts are noted for being very rich substantial beers, and FiftyFifty\u2019s Totality Imperial Stout does not disappoint on this fact. Brewed in small 300 gallons batches, our brewers lovingly craft this masterpiece once a year. Made with the finest malts, hops, fresh mountain water and yeast, over 18 separate ingredients lend their unique character to this beer.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 To become Eclipse, Totality is then aged for a minimum of 180 days in oak bourbon barrels. This time spent adds a plethora of flavors to the already rich Imperial Stout. At first taste there is a large presence of dark chocolate, espresso and warmth from the alcohol of the beer. Oak barrel character then comes into play with hints of vanilla and coconut, followed by mild bitterness from the hops, and then a nice long lingering finish with hints of tobacco, dark dried fruit and more chocolate. Eclipse is a wonderful companion with dessert. A beer meant for contemplation best enjoyed in a snifter and with a friend.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Because of the extensive brewing and aging process, Eclipse is only released once a year.<\/em> The long awaited release of Fifty Fifty Eclipse Barrel Aged Stouts are here!
