Amundsen Bryggeri - Barrel-Aged Ashes To Ashes
Beer Description
Cookies, caramel and chocolate have never tasted quite this extravagant! Barrel-Aged Ashes To Ashes is a gloriously indulgent 11.5% Imperial Pastry Stout from Norway's celebrated Amundsen Brewery, taking inspiration from the irresistible combination of salted caramel and chocolate chip cookies. Building on the brewery's decadent Ashes To Ashes recipe, this luxurious barrel-aged edition brings together rich chocolate, buttery biscuit flavours and luscious caramel sweetness with the additional complexity of maturation in wooden barrels. Expect enticing impressions of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, golden toffee, dark cocoa and delicate sea salt, complemented by the warming, rounded character associated with barrel ageing. It's a magnificent example of Amundsen's unapologetically extravagant approach to dessert-inspired brewing, delivering the comforting flavours of your favourite sweet treats in a seriously substantial Imperial Stout.
Pouring an imposing jet-black colour, Barrel-Aged Ashes To Ashes offers a deeply indulgent drinking experience, with layers of roasted malt, chocolate and caramel creating a rich foundation for its dessert-inspired character. On the palate, expect generous impressions of silky chocolate, sweet caramel and buttery biscuit, accompanied by a delicate salty contrast that helps balance the beer's considerable sweetness. Barrel maturation adds another dimension, with potential notes of oak, vanilla and warming spirits complementing the roasted malt character and confectionery richness. At a formidable 11.5% ABV, this is certainly a beer to savour slowly, allowing its complex flavours to develop as it gently warms in the glass. The finish is long, rich and satisfyingly decadent, leaving lingering impressions of salted caramel, dark chocolate and toasted biscuit. An outstanding choice for enthusiasts of heavyweight pastry stouts and indulgent barrel-aged creations, Ashes To Ashes proves that sometimes dessert is best served in a glass!
