-------------- Forwarded Message: -------------- From: "Barley John's Brew Pub" <info(a)barleyjohns.com> To: Brew Pub List Member <aboyce(a)mn.rr.com> Subject: Dark Knight Release Date: Tue, 29 May 2007 17:06:12 +0000 Dark Knight Release 5/30/07The barrels have been emptied and the Dark Knight is back on tap! We will be celebrating its return on Wednesday May 30th from 4-8 pm. Dark Knight (Vintage 2006) (13.5%abv): The Dark Knight is a bourbon barrel aged double fermented porter. In this case we brew our standard Old 8 Porter and then feed it more sugar to boost the alcohol content. Once the fermentation is complete the Dark Knight to-be is transferred to Bourbon barrels where it ages from 4-8 months, in this case 7 months. We used barrels from the Rip Van Winkle Distillery which housed their premium bourbon - Pappy Van Winkle - for 20 years. This is a very smooth and mellow bourbon which marries nicely with the dark and complex tones of the double fermented porter. We serve this one in a 5.5oz bourbon glass and it is designed to be a slow and enjoyable brew-apertif. Heavy bourbon nose that fades upon sipping, then the chocolate and malt notes from the porter dominate the middle and a slightly tannic/dry finish to complete the taste. Questions? Comments?
