Stoutzilla has been resting in Buffalo Trace Bourbon Rye Barrels to further enhance our titan stout.
Before heading into barrels, our base Stoutzilla recipe was evolved to create an even bigger body to withstand the time and ageing process in barrels.
A complex and rich malt base with additions of cocoa nibs and locally roasted robust Coffee.
The result is a velvety smooth mouthfeel followed by rich chocolate, coffee and smooth vanilla to give a subtle sweetness which then leads to warming Bourbon, characteristics of wood and gentle smokiness which have been drawn out from the charred American oak.

330ml can bought at Caps and Taps, Tufnell Park. Carried back home and shared with Finn. Fawn-coloured head with fine duration, pitch black body, spotty lacing. Smooth dark malty nose, roasted. Solid cocoa-chocolate flavours followed by a lingering dark malt-driven close. Full bodied. Rather sweet, still a decent sipper. (Tromsø, 15.12.2023).

Spandert av Rune. Delt på Vervet. Svart. Lavt mokkafarget skum. Kakaoaroma. Silkemyk munnfølelse. Smaken kakao. Litt syrlig etter hvert. Tørr, lett alkoholisk avslutning.
