Backcountry Bourbon Barrel Breakfast Stout


Backcountry Bourbon Barrel Breakfast Stout       10%ABV
Backcountry Brewing Co. Frisco, CO
A:   Pours an opaque black color with a lofty dark tan head.
S:  Bold aromas of roasted malt, caramel, raisin and squaw bread marry with rich notes of Breckenridge Bourbon and toasted American oak from its time spent in barrel (6mo)
T:  Flavors follow the nose closely with a heavy yet pleasant sweetness that is balanced nicely with just a touch of hops.
M:  Full bodied with a creamy texture and modest carbonation.  This beer finishes on the sweet side with noticeable boozy element.
O:  Overall a great winter sipper but also pairs incredibly with pork belly, coffee and chocolate desserts as well as desserts focused on creamy vanilla flavors or candied nuts.
