Blue Mountain Chocolate Belgian Porter (Cherry, Bourbon Barrel) Blue Mountain Brewery Afton, Virginia
Beer style: Belgian Ale - Pale / Golden / Single Ref: ratebeer.com May2024
Common descriptors are This is one of those wild experimental brews our guys tend to whip
up after drinking a little too much Dark Hollow. It is our Chocolate Belgian Porter aged in bourbon barrels that held
Dark Hollow for 10 months, and we added 60# of bing cherries to each barrel during the aging. Notes of the
Peruvian cacao nibs from the original beer meld with the burnt vanilla and bourbon flavors of the barrels and bring
out the underlying malt complexity and fruitiness of the Belgian yeast. A rare treat! 20 IBUs, 7.0% alc/vol. |
