Town Hall Kentucky Truffle. 2020.
Barrel-aged Imperial Milk Stout.
9.8 % ABV. Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery, Minneapolis, MN.
Deep ebony appearance, powerfully opaque, slim head, soon gone.
In the nose: Ridiculously rich. Vast. Dark malts fully in charge, with cocoa, espresso, and cream riding hight on top. Vanilla and coconut, with an undercurrent of currants and other dark fruits.
In the mouth: Sweet and creamy, dark and decadent, decidedly delicious. Full body, enormous malt presence, slight hoppiness, barrel delivers hard. Dark fruit, deep and delectable cocoa. Purrs on the palate and lays down deliciousness. Alcoholic warmth washes over and everything is groovy. Aw, man. This is some right-on stuff, here. So big, fierce, full and so very tasty. Incredible.
While in Kentucky, we enjoyed some truffles made with three primary ingredients: chocolate, cream, and bourbon. Just so happens that we like htese treats so we decided to make our own in barrels for you, hope you enjoy! We made a strong stout with milk sugar that is rich in dark chocolate and fruit character, and aged it in a barrel chosen for caramel and vanilla notes, and finally finished with chocolate.
