LUCIFERIN GOLDEN IMPERIAL STOUT
A NEW COLLABORATIVE BREW FROM STONE AND BREWDOG
Quote:
The beer was brewed with intense amounts of extra pale malt for body. Additionally sack loads of oatmeal were utilized to provide the rich and supple mouth-feel. Loads of cocoa nibs were thrown into the brew kettle to give the beer demonic bitter chocolate flavours, which intertwine menacingly with liquorice which was added during the boiling of the golden wort. English Noble hops provide an herbal, earthy and spicy backbone, which perfectly compliment the rich, dark flavours. A late addition of Galena hops giving the beer a satisfying twist of a poached pear and plum finish.
To add the classic imperial stout roastiness and fullness one would expect, the beer was aged after fermentation for six months in specially-selected Lagavulin casks stuffed with two pounds each of dark roasted Jamaican Blue Ridge whole coffee beans. The fact that the beans remained whole meant colour pick up was negligible, but the six months allowed for significant pick up of rich coffee and roasted flavours.
