Milky Aged Stouts

The Upslope Barrel Aged Beer Contains a Sweet Flavor of Vanilla and Cinnamon

— February 2, 2016 — Lifestyle
The Upslope Barrel Aged Stout offers an unconventional flavor profile rich in a milky texture and sweet aromas. The beer is made using a lactose sugar in the brewing process that gives the dark beer a rich and creamy texture quiet unlike anything currently on the market. The creamy consistency is paired with sweet and spiced notes that complement the drink's aged flavor profile.

Typically stout beers are dark and complex in flavors, but the Upslope Brewing Company offers a slightly unique taste with the combination of lactose sugar and malt. The beer is fermented in whiskey barrels as well, that give the drink a rich and robust aroma as it steeps for several months in the wooden liquor vats. The drink is then further sweetened with notes of cinnamon, cocoa and vanilla.
Trend Themes
1. Milky Aged Stouts - A new trend in craft beer that uses lactose sugar to create unique, creamy textures and sweet flavor profiles.
2. Whiskey Barrel Ageing - Growing trend of aging beers in whiskey barrels to add complex and rich flavors and aromas.
3. Sweet and Spiced Notes - Increasing popularity of adding flavors such as cinnamon, cocoa, and vanilla to create unique flavor profiles in craft beer.
Industry Implications
1. Craft Beer - Milky aged stouts, whiskey barrel ageing, and sweet and spiced notes offer business opportunities for craft breweries seeking to differentiate themselves in the market.
2. Whiskey Distilleries - Opportunities for whiskey distilleries to collaborate with breweries to supply barrels for whiskey barrel aging of craft beer.
3. Flavor and Fragrance Industry - Rising demand for natural and artificial flavors to create unique and innovative taste profiles in craft beer is a potential opportunity for the flavor and fragrance industry.
