Barrel Aged Mega Crunch

Описание

Our first Advocator stout for the 2023-24 membership brings back one of our favorite treated stouts, with the addition of some extended barrel aging. We selected two 8-year Stagg Jr and one 7-year Weller barrel as the base, with a designed-for-barrels base stout that was brewed nearly two years ago. The Stagg Jr barrels provide a bold bourbon punch to help cut through the heavy flavor additions, while the Weller brings more of a rich, smooth character to take the edges off the more intense barrels. Peanut and coconut come through big and up front, with the brighter almonds playing support. We have been really loving the crop of vanilla beans from Comoros this year, and their rich chocolate-and-marshmallow character bring everything together in this beer.
