Bourbon Barrel Aged Coffee Stout
Remember that time we posted a few hype videos of doing a collaboration beer with Broken Throne and Dueling Barrels then everyone’s world got flipped upside down? I know, we barely remember that world too. But….the good news is that the collaboration still happened and the beer is available for purchase now! We originally planned to launch this beer around St. Patrick’s Day and have launch parties at both breweries. Obviously, we weren’t able to do that, but Broken Throne was able to pivot and bottle the product so we all could still enjoy it. Let me just tell you something, IT IS THE BOMB.
This collaboration is a Bourbon Barrel Aged Coffee Stout coming in at 11.6% ABV and has notes of caramel, vanilla, coffee, bourbon and chocolate. We played a small part by providing freshly roasted Colombian coffee that added subtle coffee notes ot the brew that complimented the roasted malts and bourbon characteristics of the beer. If I were to pair this beer with food, I would do something sweet like a coffee cake or a rich and spicy beef stew. My mouth is watering right now by typing this, and I have a roast thawing in the fridge so you know what my game plan is going to be this weekend. I’m told that Broken Throne only has roughly 30 bottles left, so you better get there this weekend and get it before it’s all gone. I would suggest buying two. One to drink right away, obviously, and one to age to see how the flavor changes one year from now.
Big thanks to our friends at Broken Throne and Dueling Barrels for making this delicious beer for us all to enjoy. It’s pretty unique that Pikeville has two breweries and a coffee roastery all within walking distance of each other right off of Hambley Blvd, which gets a subtle nod in the name of the beer, Knights of Hambley. We hope to do a collab every year, because nothing is more perfect than working with friends to develop a product we can all enjoy together.
