Big, barrel aged, Imperial Smoked porter. Loads of coffee and chocolate flavors, light smoke complexity that is not too intense but keeps you looking for more. The beer finishes a bit sweet but the darker malts and hop bitterness balance it out. The barrel flavor and aroma come out strong but work well with the base beer.
Notable Ingredients:
Grist: Beechwood Smoked
Malt: Smokey BBQ aroma and flavor
Oak Smoked Wheat malt: Hammy smoke character, and the head retention benefits of wheat.
Black malt: Darkens the color and gives a coffee like acrid bite.
Chocolate Malt: Gives nice flavors and aromas of coffee and chocolate
Hops:
Northern Brewer: Smooth bitterness hop Chinook: Adds a nice piney bite. Not overwhelming in the beer, the malt still dominates this brew.
Other:
14yr old George Dickle Barrel: Beautiful oakiness with a strong, hot whiskey finish. Notes of vanilla and coconut.
