From the label

“Convict Hill is a robust and heady oatmeal stout with rich chocolate and roasted malt flavors and a silky smooth finish. This limited edition brew was aged in Garrison Brothers' award-winning 2019 Balmorhea bourbon barrels for over 6 months. The result is bold and aromatic, with notes of sweet vanilla and oaky tannins. We hope y'all enjoy this tribute to Central Texas craft.”
