A fantastic find at the Bethlehem Brew Works' latest edition of Firkin Thursday. It is because of bews like this that they are without a doubt my favorite local haunt...
There is no questioning the appearance of this hand-pulled beauty. The cascade was apparent, and the head was about an inch worth, and gorgeous, at that. While it was typically dark for a stout, there was still almost some reddish-brown transparency to it. This brew was immediately whafting with notes of the chocolate and black patent malts, and the Fuggle and East Kent Goldings hops were apparent both in the nose and even more subtlely on the palate...a fabulous combination of malts and hops. This concoction is very different from a proceduralstand point, as many other whiskey-infused beers are aged within whiskey barrels, which is a fine endeavor...this brew was casked not in a whiskey barrel, but in a barrel nevertheless and then marinated, if you will, with the 4 ounces of Jack Daniels-soaked French oak chips, for about one week. The result is a more well-balanced infusion of the residual whiskey sweetness, combined with the background of the malts and hops and topped off with an slick and velvety smoothness. This brew was almost etherial. For those who had a chance to try it, certainly it was something to behold. However, this brew may not have lasted much past 8:00 p.m. on this Thursday.
My hat goes off to Lewis, brewer at the Bethlehem Brew Works. An absolutely masterful creation. I will coerce him in every way I can to get him to do one like this again.
Prosit!
