From the label

“Towering tanks with sleek lines, hand-shaped bourbon barrels, and a final infusion of hop intensity—this is how we're celebrating our decade of Torpedo. To mark its anniversary, we cellared away a fresh batch for months before recharging the mellowed beer in its namesake, the Hop Torpedo. The result: bold, fruity hop flavor and aroma with notes of rich bourbon and vanilla from the oak. Here's to 10 years strong.”
