Stonecutter Oak

Description

Stonecutter Oak by Renaissance Brewing is a captivating Scotch Ale/Wee Heavy that showcases the art of oak aging. This beer pours a deep black hue, topped with a thick, creamy beige head that persists, enticing the senses. The aroma is rich and inviting, featuring notes of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and a hint of nutty malt. The initial sip delivers a burst of roasted malt flavors, with hints of espresso, dark chocolate, and a touch of burnt toast. This is beautifully balanced by a subtle sweetness from the oak aging, which imparts a delicate touch of vanilla and coconut. The finish is dry and slightly bitter, with lingering notes of roasted coffee and oak. With a medium body and a creamy, smooth texture, Stonecutter Oak is enhanced by a moderate carbonation that provides a light effervescence, elevating the overall flavor profile. This beer is the result of a 6-month aging process in American oak barrels, marrying the richness of a stout with the subtle complexity of oak. Pair this exceptional brew with grilled meats, sharp cheeses, or desserts featuring chocolate or coffee for a truly indulgent experience.
