Description:
Our next addition of our rotating Blast Furnace Stout series is a Vanilla Bourbon Porter . Porter is a style of beer which originated in London, England in the 1700’s. It became very popular there until it’s decline in the 1930’s. A separate style of beer evolved from a porter, called a stout. Now a porter is typically the step between a brown ale and a stout in both color and body. Our Vanilla Bourbon Porter is a brown porter. The color is very dark but not black. You may notice some dark red color. The aroma is full of chocolate, bourbon, and vanilla with a complex ester (fruit-like) quality. The body will be quite full and rich with caramel notes and more roastiness. When the beer finishes the bitterness from the hops nicely balances the caramel maltiness, vanilla, and bourbon then lingers for a moment before it’s gone. The addition of the bourbon and vanilla was done in the serving tank. We achieved this by adding bourbon soaked oak chips and whole vanilla beans into the serving tank.
