About this beer
This is the 20th of 60 labels we have from Breakside Brewery. It is one of 3 barrel-aged stout labels approved in April 2019. Its label was approved 22 days after it was submitted. The label carries barrel-aged on the front.
From the label“Grandmammy is the barrel-aged version of our popular winter seasonal Salted Caramel Stout. This vintage release has been sitting for over a year in Van Winkle wheated Bourbon barrels that were also used to house Bissell Maple Farm maple syrup. We think you will see that it has been worth the wait. Big notes of brown spices, earth, dark fruit, and char mix on the spirit-forward nose; they are followed by rich flavors of vanilla and caramel on the mid-palate, a luscious mouthfeel, and a hint of salt in the finish. Soft oak tannins and a pleasant wood character round this out. Forget food-- this beer is dinner, drinks, and dessert all in a single bottle. Cheers!”
