A barrel-aged version of last year’s Black is Beautiful Imperial Stout, blended in collaboration with Khonso Brewing (Atlanta, GA) as one half of our mutual contribution to the Brews for New Avenues event in Portland, OR. We added figs, vanilla beans, and a hint of holiday spice to the finished barrels, for added richness and cheer.

On tap at the brewery. Pours black with a chocolate brown head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has dark grains and roasted malts with a touch of vanilla, dark fruit and a bit of oak supporting. Flavor is similar with dark grains throughout supported by vanilla, light roast and a bit of fig underlying.
