Barrel-aged Beer : December 2010
Per usual, on December 01 we’ll be releasing a limited quantity of another of our barrel-aged beers.
These are batches we’ve stored in wooden barrels in our Burien Brewhouse cellar, some for more than a year.
This month’s selection is a blend of two different recipes, Imperial Stout and Blackened Pilsner, each of which were aged in Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels. We’ve released each own their on before, but now they’ve come together to provide a unique tasting experience.
The Stout does the heavy lifting, yielding rich coffee and cocoa notes while the Pilsner delivers a distinct sour cherry aroma and flavor.
This is what one Facebook Fan had to say about this month’s selection:
“The nose, you bring in as you inhale above the glass. The first taste, an impression not yet before seen. It takes you to a far away place as port, grabs you in the jaw, hints you a bit of chocolate then effervesces away into mortal memory with the hint of bourbon of yore, almost other wordly in description. I’ve done my part, four in count. Memorable and look forward to somewhere in time that it can happen again.”
