Released every year, #cruxfermentationproject's Tough Love was one of the first barrel-aged, imperial stouts that founder Larry Sidor made. Now in its 10th year, Tough Love remains a release about balance between what comes from the barrel and what goes into it. The result is a beer that has notes of dark and sweet fruit, acidic cacao, baker's chocolate, and a mouthfeel that deceives its ABV. #MastodonBeer #MastodoPhotography
