Colorado-based brewing heavyweights Epic Brewing and Bootstrap Brewing have teamed up to develop a delectable white stout that takes its inspiration from Epic's well-received 'Son Of A Baptist Coffee Stout.
This particular brew, dubbed 'Son Of A Bootstrap White Stout,' takes the classic Epic Brewing recipe but adds in a whole new visual appeal. According to Epic, the goal in crafting this brew's visual aesthetic was to create something akin to traditional Korean rice wine.
Unsurprisingly given its heritage, coffee makes a bold and welcome appearance in the 'Son Of A Bootstrap' white stout, with local roasters NOVO Coffee contributing the goods in this regard. A dash of cacao adds an added layer of flavor to a stout that has been deemed by drinkers as being noticeably dry and an all-round creative success.
