Arbre Imperial Stout: Medium Toast

The Arbre series is an exploration of barrel toast. We brewed a rich, malty imperial stout and divided it into three parts, laying each down in brand new American oak barrels from our friends at Kelvin Cooperage in Kentucky. This variation of Arbre spent time resting in medium toasted barrels and reveals more oak-forward notes in addition to coconut, roasted vanilla beans, bakers chocolate and black cherries. A remarkable beer on its own, but even more exciting when tasted side-by-side with its light toast and dark char counterparts for a truly educational experience.
