Expecting a “Cascadian Dark Ale” here. I don’t think so baby. This without question is a stout and it is a damn hoppy one at that! Utilizing Pale Ale malt as the base along with a small portion of 140 °L Caramel Malt from Chile and English Roasted Barley and Dark Chocolate malt the resulting medium bodied beer is rich and complex with notes of dark roasted coffee and baker’s chocolate. We used Warrior hops for bittering to contribute a clean crisp bitterness and a blend of Galaxy and Cascade for a blast of fresh flowery hop aroma in the whirlpool. After fermentation we hit this brew with a fresh dose of Centennial and Galaxy dry hops to infuse this dark ale with fresh aromas of citrus zest and pine. In our series of stouts this one has the highest level of both hop bitterness and aroma. Hopefully you get a chance to try one on cask, it is magical! A 2012 World Beer Cup Gold medal winner.
