The Artful Dodger is a pitch black brew that trades in roastiness for massive chocolate character. We aged this beer in Elijah Craig bourbon barrels which add huge notes of vanilla, whiskey, and oak. For even more complexity we aged the beer on cacao nibs from Meridian Cacao Co. for rich, thick, fudgy flavors.
Style: Bourbon Barrel Aged Double Chocolate Stout / ABV: 5.6% / IBU: 35
Aromas of chocolate, chewy caramels, cold brewed coffee, and warming whiskey hit you first thing. A smooth mouthfeel makes this Double Chocolate Stout a perfect drinker for the winter chill. On first sip you’ll find rich, dark chocolate notes, dark fruits, and massive whiskey and oak components. This beer is rich and extravagant without the excessive alcohol you’d expect from such big flavors.
