Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailIsabel

Inspiration is easy to find if you know where to look: inside a barrel, up in the trees, half a world away. Named for Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil, a leading producer of both oranges and cacao. Isabel was also a member of the royal House of Bourbon. In this sublime porter, residual malt sugars from the beer meld with the cacao nibs to produce an intense chocolate flavor, while the orange peel adds a citrus undertone that carries the oak-imparted vanilla and bourbon flavors through on the palate.
