Orange & Cacao is Fremont’s latest barrel-aged release, a complex cuvée that brings together multiple layers of flavor and process. The beer blends an imperial oatmeal stout brewed with licorice and cinnamon bark, aged in 10-year-old bourbon barrels, with a second imperial stout brewed specifically for the blend. The result is then finished with orange zest and cacao nibs, creating a rich, multidimensional drinking experience.
The final beer delivers chocolate-forward richness balanced by bright citrus lift, with underlying notes of anise and cinnamon that add warmth and intrigue.
At 11.0% ABV, Orange & Cacao pours deep black and opaque, offering a full-bodied, decadent profile suited for slow, intentional drinking.
“This beer is all about layering, building depth through blending, barrel aging, and complementary ingredients,” said Lincoln. “You get the richness of cacao, the brightness of orange, and the structure of a well-built stout, all working together.”
