LOST DOG (W/LOST ABBEY) Download BeerXML
THIS BEER IS
Our first beer aged in rum casks, Lost Dog saw us brew a collaboration imperial porter with our friends at Lost Abbey. The base beer was packed with toffee, chocolate and roasty notes, balanced with a subtle spicy hop character. The rum casks add a warming, spiced vanilla edge.

BREWER'S TIP
Aging in barrels brings the ABV up. Recreate rum cask aging by soaking oak chips in rum then adding to the maturing beer.
