Barrel Aged Blackbeerd Release 3/1
February 28, 2009
Ok, so I’ve gotten a bunch of calls from folks thinking this is being released at the brewery. It is not. We are not allowed to do that. The release is being held at the Charleston Beer Exchange, downtown. Noon on SUnday.
Also, I hear EVO is putting the only draft of this on tap tonight (Saturday). You might want to call and make sure though.
The Barrel Aged Blackbeerd is awesome — 5 stars!! I had the pleasure of a pint at EVO’s on Saturday night. Luscious dark malt chocolate licorice roast coffee flavors with the Jack Daniel’s on top. Clean flavored, not at all cloying despite the high gravity, yet rich mouthfeel. That pint was truly a high point in my long beer drinking experience.
Our homebrew club in New Bern, NC (Alcohol Thru Fermentation) will be brewing this style next Saturday as a group. Several of us will be brewing 5 or 10 gal batch and all will be combined in a 53 gal bourbon oak barrel. I hope it turns out half as good as Blackbeerd!
All the best to you guys at Coast.
Regards,
Phil
