Strong Sour Ale Aged in Oak Barrels
In 2020 we emptied two bourbon barrels of their resident Imperial Stouts and refilled them with a peculiar base beer inspired by English Stock Ale and Belgian Oud Bruin. The residual stout adds subtle roast to the aromas of fig from the malt, leather from the house culture, and vanilla from the oak. We suggest serving at 50-60°F from a snifter, to accentuate the balance of mild acidity, caramel sweetness, and red fruitiness.
Brewed: 4/13/20 – Bottled: 10/13/22
Final pH: 3.75 – Cellar Up To: 3 years
Bottle Count: 708 – 1 Pint .9 fl oz/500 mL
