BALTIMORE, Nov. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In the fourth
year of its barrel-aged beer program, the Guinness Open Gate
Brewery in Baltimore is releasing
Guinness Chocolate Mint Stout Aged in Kentucky Bourbon
Barrels – a limited edition barrel-aged stout that brings
the flavors of the season to life – just in time for the
holidays.
The seasonal stout is brewed with dried mint leaves, aged in
Kentucky bourbon barrels, and then
conditioned with pure cacao to keep the flavors as true to life as
possible. With a 10.8% ABV, Guinness Chocolate Mint Stout Aged in
Kentucky Bourbon Barrels is the perfect treat to bring to a holiday
party, pair with a favorite dessert, gift to the beer lover in your
life or just enjoy by the fire as the temperature drops.
"With each new beer from our barrel-aging program, we look to
challenge ourselves with flavor combinations and tastes that most
people wouldn't expect from Guinness," said Sean Brennan, Head Brewer at the Guinness Open
Gate Brewery in Baltimore. "And
that's exactly what we've got here with our Chocolate Mint Stout
Aged in Kentucky Bourbon Barrels. Chocolate and mint are a classic
flavor combination, and the way those flavors interact with the
bourbon character leads to something really special. It's the
perfect beer to sip on after a solid meal with family and friends
over the holidays."
The bold flavors come from the combination of bright mint and
the complexity of dark chocolate and bourbon oak flavors, making
the brew the perfect toast with this holiday season. Guinness
Chocolate Mint Stout Aged in Kentucky Bourbon Barrels can be found
on shelves across the country now for a limited time in 4-packs of
11.2oz bottles at a suggested retail price of $19.99, as well as on tap at the Guinness Open
Gate Brewery in Baltimore.
For those looking to add even more seasonal flavor to holiday
gatherings this year, the Guinness Open Gate Brewery also recently
introduced Guinness Gingerbread Stout. Brewed with allspice,
ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon, Guinness Gingerbread Stout is on
shelves for a limited time only in Maryland, Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, Philadelphia, Southern New Jersey, and Delaware.
No matter what Guinness beer you choose to raise a toast with
this season, always celebrate the holidays responsibly.
