Piny Stout by Emerson's Brewing Company is a unique and intriguing offering. This stout has been given a twist, with a portion of the brew being aged in Central Otago pinot noir barrels. The result is a subtle oak character that complements the beer's natural flavors. The main attraction of this stout is the interplay between the fruity, berry-like notes from the pinot noir and the silky, chocolatey character of the oatmeal stout. The oatmeal lends a velvety mouthfeel, while the barrel-aging adds a layer of complexity. At 5.0% alcohol by volume, Piny Stout strikes a balance between bold flavor and easy drinkability. This beer would be a great choice for those looking to explore the intersection of stout and red wine influences.
