Karl Strauss Barrel-Aged Wreck Alley Imperial Stout - Vanilla Bean Karl Strauss Brewing Company San Diego, California

Common descriptors are Like previous versions of Wreck Alley, this batch has additions of cocoa nibs and locally roasted Ethiopian coffee beans. But this time we didn’t stop there. Our brewers split whole vanilla beans from Papua New Guinea, added them to the beer, and left it to age in American oak barrels for an entire year. The result? All of the dark chocolate and espresso-like roast you expect from Wreck Alley, plus exotic vanilla undertones.
[ added "Barrel Aged" to the name and updated product description per brewer request (Allisa Powers); and because it is indeed on the label that way ] |
