Brewing Details

Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for Dessert or Pastry Beer describes beers that "build on a strong dark beer base and incorporate culinary ingredients," deep amber to black, at 5.5 to 10.25 percent ABV or more and 20 to 65 IBU. The brewery labels the beer a barrel aged barleywine rather than a stout, and the published finishing ingredients support the category's culinary ingredient expectation.

Research Notes

• Name conflict: the GABF list says "Ferds Addition", the brewery's medal post says "Ferd's Edition", and the 2026 World Beer Cup list says "Barrel-Aged Kelly's Private Stash (Ferd's Addition)". The GABF name is kept as the beer name; the others are aliases.
• The same beer took Silver in Wood and Barrel Aged Dessert or Pastry Beer (52 entries) at the 2026 World Beer Cup, per the official winners list.
• The beer is absent from the brewery's beer listing and category page, and a site search returned only event pages.
• Web searches found no Untappd listing, ABV, IBU or barrel source.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Second pass 2026-10-13: Found the matching 2026 Ferd's Edition listing with ABV, IBU, finishing ingredients and barrel details. The separately described regular Private Stash release was excluded.
• Field pass 2026-10-13: A targeted brewery domain search for Ferd and Kelly found no beer page or hop names. The previously verified 2026 formulation is retained.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: PorchDrinking's 2022 pouring guide lists the base Kelly's Private Stash as a bourbon barrel aged English barleywine; nothing describes the Ferds Addition variant, so no figure is carried over.
• Brewery site scrape 2026-10-14: found nothing new; 6 pages tried (robots.txt obeyed, one request every few seconds per host).
• Second deep dive pass 2026-10-14 (brewery site, press search): found nothing new; 4 pages tried. Nothing new. The brewery home page repeats the medal post naming the beer 'Kelly's Private Stash (Ferd's Edition)'; no tasting notes, process or hops found. The 2026 U.S. Open coverage of other Kelly's Private Stash versions was not carried over.
