Beer
Totality Imperial Stout is an imperial stout produced regularly by the company. Yearly, some of this beer is set down in a variety of barrels for six months of aging to make Eclipse Barrel Aged Imperial Stout.[1] Barrels include those previously used for aging brandy, Buffalo Trace Whiskey, and Four Roses Single Barrel among others; there are eleven barrel-types used in all.[1] Bottles are then sold direct from the brewery on futures contract several months before the year's release.[3][4] Bottles not sold in futures are sent out for distribution or served on premises.
