Oak aged beers have been growing in popularity and availability for good reason. Their complexity and mellowness, combined with unexpected flavors, make for great drinking. And great eating.
On March 16, Octavia’s Porch will host an exclusive tasting dinner featuring the highly rated, oak aged beers of Innis & Gunn. To join these four special beers, Chef Nikki Cascone has crafted a special menu including Wild Mushroom Knishes with Beer Mustard and Apple Cake with Caramel Rum Sauce.
A representative from Innis & Gunn will be on hand to guide guests through the four beers, which include two new offerings only available in the U.K..
o Rum Cask: Sweet & spicy, with a mellow oak background. A limited bottling, aged in American Oak before being put in Navy Rum barrels for the remainder of the maturation process
o Winter Brew: Natural hints of ripe fruit, vanilla, and caramel. Every ingredient used to brew this beer has been selected for its intensity of flavor. Large amounts of pale ale and crystal malts impart the caramel fruit character, strength and body
o Canadian Brew: Brewed with rye grains and aged in Canadian Whiskey Barrels, then matured for a total of 71 days
o Original Innis & Gunn: Luxurious malt and toffee giving way to mellow oak with vanilla overtones. Balanced by the orange peel citrus character
