AllGates Sloe Stout

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Special - December 2011.
Brewed to the same recipe as our SIBA National Gold Award Winning stout Mad Monk; a rich, intense brew with big complex flavours and a warming finish, but to a slightly higher ABV. Sloe Stout is loaded with the same chocolate and coffee aromas and roast notes as Mad Monk but to each firkin from the one gyle brewed we have then added wonderful freshly picked organic sloe berries and allowed the beer to condition in cask for two months.
Hopefully the acidity of the sloes will provide a perfect foil to the rich beer. The additional conditioning should also dry the beer. We would imagine it will be best served on gravity behind the bar at room temperature, rather than chilled in a cellar and dispensed by hand pump as the sloe flavour will be masked below 15 C. So if you are served a chilled pint, simply leave it to warm up; it’ll be worth the wait and then please drink sloely!
