Beer description
Double Chocolate - Imperial Stout Bourbon Barrel Aged
Imperial stout aged in American ex-bourbon oak barrels for 8 months before going through a stabilisation in steel for four 4 where it is flavoured with 20g/L of Ghanaian cocoa grue. The result is a very complex yet very pleasant beer. The cocoa aromas dominate and enhance the characteristics of the roasted and caramelised malts used in the brewing room. The cask connotes it with exotic aromas of vanilla, distillate and a fresh earthy finish. The 12.8 per cent alcohol content warms and envelops the palate, giving way to a unique flavour of extra dark chocolate accompanied by the sweet scent of caramel, all harmonised by spicy fragrances and roasted nuts.
Beer brewed with cocoa grue, aged in Bourbon barrels.
