Barrel Aged Stout

Description

Hop Federation Brewery's Barrel Aged Stout is a true masterpiece of the craft. This stout boasts a rich, opaque black pour, topped with a thick, creamy, coffee-colored head that leaves a delightful lacing on the glass. The aroma is complex and alluring, exuding notes of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, molasses, vanilla, and caramel, with subtle hints of oak. The flavor profile is a symphony of bold and captivating tastes. The initial sip is dominated by intense roasted coffee and dark chocolate, accompanied by a hint of burnt caramel. As the beer warms on the palate, complex flavors of molasses, toffee, and vanilla emerge, creating a velvety sweetness. The finish is marked by a lingering bitterness from the roasted malts and a subtle warmth from the oak aging, providing a satisfying and robust conclusion. This medium to full-bodied stout coats the palate with a luxurious, creamy texture, showcasing the masterful craftsmanship of the Hop Federation Brewery. Typically around 9-10% ABV, this barrel-aged stout has been aged in a combination of bourbon, rum, and whiskey barrels, infusing the beer with unique and delightful flavors and aromas.
