Portland, Oregon-based Chuckanut Brewery launched the first ever half-liter bottled versions of its highly touted barrel-aged stout, making it easier than ever for lovers of strong stouts to make it through the cold winter months.
This particular barrel-aged stout is renowned for the uncanny way in which it manages to combine arboreal aromas and flavors with notes of dry cherry. The taste of the beer is complex and varied, including everything from velvety chocolate to sweet coconut and hints of dry fruit. As far as its texture is concerned, the stout has a rich and smooth mouthfeel.
The half-liter bottled version of this barrel-aged stout is truly a collector's item, seeing as how it was made available in only 120 bottles and limited to two bottles per person.
