Twisted Barrel Eclipse
Sweet Stout 5.6 º
This unique Sweet Stout offers a complex sensory journey, merging traditional dark malt character with sixteen months of Muscadet wine barrel maturation. The initial profile is defined by rich chocolate and mild roasted grains, softened by the inclusion of almond milk which lends a velvety, creamy texture. Maple syrup provides a layered, earthy sweetness that complements the base beer's residual sugars. The extended aging in French oak introduces distinctive red berry notes and a subtle vinous depth, contrasting beautifully with the luscious, dessert-like core. It is a sophisticated interpretation that balances roasted bitterness against a persistent, syrup-driven finish.
Appearance. Very dark brown to near-opaque ebony (SRM 38). Topped with a dense, creamy tan head that exhibits good retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity with dominant notes of milk chocolate and sweet maple syrup. Subtle nutty almond hints are present, alongside a distinctive red berry fruitiness and a faint vinous quality derived from the wine barrel. Low roasted grain aroma; hop aroma is absent.
Taste. Initial flavors of chocolate and sweetened espresso lead into a rich, maple-driven mid-palate. The almond milk adds a soft, nutty roundness. Moderate bitterness provides just enough balance for the high sweetness, while the barrel aging contributes bright red berry flavors and a touch of oak. The finish is lingering and sweet, emphasizing the chocolate and maple character.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a notably creamy, coating texture. Carbonation is moderate-low. Despite the long aging, there is only a very light alcohol warmth, with no harsh astringency.
