Vintage Stout 2023 New Zealand Whisky Barrel Aged

Описание

The 2023 Vintage Stout is the fifth release of our ‘Vintage’ range of yearly Barrel Aged releases.This Imperial Stout was brewed with a ‘Reiterated’ Double Mashing schedule, in which the second mash is mixed in with high gravity Wort from the first mash. This process allows us to extract a more concentrated sweet Wort, which feeds the yeast to create a higher alcohol brew.A small addition of dextrose sugar in the fermenter added an extra hit of alcohol which gives this beer a warming balance to the oak tannins. We then decanted the beer into fresh Whisky barrels from Pōkeno Distillery in New Zealand, and left the beer to rest for nine months.
