DARK ROOM #1 – A BLEND OF WHISKEY BARREL AGED IMPERIAL STOUTS

Imperial Stout

Colour: Dark

ABV: 11.9%

Suggested Glassware: Wine

Tasting Notes: This first release stout was brewed with a mix of barley, oat, wheat and rye to create a rich, full-bodied beer. After fermentation, the base of this beer was transferred into recently emptied Canadian Whiskey barrels from Odd Society and Okanagan Spirits for 12 months deeply developing robust aromas of coconut, vanilla and rich chocolate with a complex undertone of whiskey and toasted oak. Indulge in decadent flavours of fudge brownies, caramelized brown sugar and honey spiced whiskey.

Release Date: December 2024

Window into a Dark Room v.1

Nutella Inspired Imperial Stout with hazelnut and cacao

Colour: Dark

ABV: 11.9%

Suggested Glassware: Teku

Tasting Notes: We are very excited to announce a new barrel project to look forward to here at Luppolo!Window Into A Dark Room is a new series of beers that will showcase rich, full bodied stouts BEFORE they are barrel aged, blended and packaged many months (or years) later. This will allow you a brief glimpse into what you can expect from us in the future when the beer is finally bottled!The base of this beer may vary in order to create different blending components, but you can always expect our stouts to be rich, full bodied, and decadent. The type of adjuncts we use will vary depending on the base.

In order to give you a glimpse into what this beer will become, we’ve saved a very small amount of our first fresh stout and dosed it with hazelnut and cacao nibs giving you a balance of sweet, salty, and nutty. Expect bold flavours of chocolate, dark roasted coffee and a cacophony of dark fruit and roasted malt aromas.

Release Date: December 23, 2023
