A Note on This Beer
Today’s Barrel-Aged Stout is based on George Washington’s personal rye whiskey recipe!
Ol’ Georgy knew how to get the party started, and Four Fathers Brewing carries forth his legacy with their Barrel-Aged Wheelhouse Imperial Coffee Stout series. Today, you can score the 2020 vintage of their unadulterated BA version.
After aging for 4 months in Journeyman Distillery Rye Whiskey barrels alongside additions of locally-sourced coffee and smooth vanilla beans, Barrel-Aged Wheelhouse boasts a robust, Irish Coffee-like decadence. Meanwhile, the barrels impart their fruity rye whiskey quality to create gently spicy complexity.
Sip after sip sends the taste buds drifting away on a smooth river of cherry cordial chocolate with fresh-brewed espresso.
Scoring this barrel-aged forces of nature would probably make George Washington himself turn green with envy.
