Barrel-Aged Stout From Gig Harbor Brewing
Gig Harbor Brewing & Taproom announces its first barrel-aged release — Gig Harbor Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout — available in the taproom Saturday, January 30th. This small, limited-time release picks up flavors of oak and whiskey through the extended aging process from inside a wooden whiskey barrel. These flavors add greater complexity to the already rich and robust 8% ABV beer.

Mike O’Hara, GHBC’s Head Brewer, said “our Imperial Stout already has a smooth well-balanced taste with robust dark chocolate and coffee flavors, and is perfect for the cooler weather. The barrel-aged version has the added warming characteristics of a smooth whiskey with a velvety mouthfeel.”
The malt blend is Briess 2-row, cara-pils, GW Munich 10-L, black prinz, chocolate, roasted, C-80, red x, with Northern Brewer and Golding hops.
