Alderaan

Alderaan is a Russian Imperial Oatmeal Stout brewed with Pale Ale malt as the base and a host of wonderful specialty malts such as Roasted Barley, Black, and Dark Crystal from the Thomas Fawcett’s malt house in England. We also incorporated both flaked oats and oat malt in the mash to impart a rich silky mouthfeel and texture. Alderaan has complex malt flavors and aromas reminiscent of dark baker’s chocolate, fresh brewed coffee, and caramel candy. Hop additions impart a clean, balanced bitterness and hints of earthy-spiciness dancing around the intense malt backbone. Don’t be fooled by the smooth easy drinking nature of this robust dark ale, it packs quite a punch! This is a very limited offering; the rest of the batch went into bourbon barrels earlier this year and will emerge this fall. Cheers!
