We had the pleasure and honor to come down to to hang out with the Master of the Deep Wood Series, Marty and curate our very special kegs for our pre-party. We ultimately decided we should pay homage to our coffee roots and bring back a spin of last year's Unmitigated Audacity. This year at 10am, we'll be releasing "Sanctuary Unmitigated Audacity Mocha" aka Supermassive Café Mocha Double Barrel Very Special Old Deth.

Sanctuary Unmitigated Audacity Mocha: 17.9%
This single five gallon keg of Supermassive Café Mocha Double Barrel V.S.O.D. was produced specially for our friends at Forward Craft & Coffee for Great Taste of the Midwest 2024. With over ten pounds per oak barrel Guatemalan Dark Matter coffee, and an equal dose of Mexican cocoa nibs, this Supermassive curiosity is a boozy café mocha adorned with French and American oaks.

Be sure to stop in Thursday at 4pm to our Brewery Buddies of the Midwest with Fair State, Hopewell, 4 Hands, Supermoon, Sway Brewing + Blending, and Odd Side Ales and Friday at 10am for Revolution Brewing!
