Anchor Brewing's Barrel Aged Purple Velvet Stout Release Party
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Join us at Anchor Brewing for the release of our Barrel Aged Purple Velvet Stout!
Anchor Brewing’s latest barrel aged beer is an inky purplish stout that has been aged in French Oak Cabernet Sauvignon barrels for the last two years. We took the very last batch of Flying Cloud Stout that we brewed and laid it down in Cabernet barrels to smooth it out into a super mellow velvety tannic explosion of flavor! The beer showcases layers of red wine and beautiful funk along with dried fruit, leather, and fresh pipe tobacco, making for a real treat. At 10.3% ABV, this is a beer to sip and savor with friends, so we packaged it in a 22 oz. bottle with handwritten labels.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance – Inky black, thick brown espresso-style foam with a purplish hueAroma – Roasted ripe red fruit with hints of raisins, dates and dark chocolateTaste – Sweet smokiness with big tannic oakiness and an acidic biteFinish – Dry and leathery with lingering layers of cherry pipe tobacco
10.3% ABV & 45 IBUs
Event ticket includes:
1 bottle of Barrel Aged Purple Velvet Stout (22 oz.)
Special Anchor beer tastings, including Purple Velvet Stout
Light bites paired with our beers
Brewery tour led by Anchor tour guide
Opportunity to purchase additional bottles of the Barrel Aged Purple Velvet Stout while supplies last (22 oz., $20 retail). Packaged beer, growlers, and merchandise are also available for sale, however, Purple Velvet Stout only comes in 22 oz. bottle format.
Must be 21+ with valid ID. This event has staggered arrival timeslots, however, attendees are welcome to stay at the brewery for the duration of the event.
