Skeletor's Stout | Dainton Family Brewery
ABV: 6.4%
Style: Stout - Other
Out of Production
Description: Entry two in what will be an ongoing barrel aged series (especially once Dainton's own brewery is up and running) is a stout that's spent "millennia" inside shiraz barrels and, boy, can you tell. It's not as big as most stouts that tend to get the oak treatment – most brewers seems to prefer to do it with imperial beers. And the choice of shiraz rather than, say, bourbon or whisky, is also less than common. The outcome is a beer that really lets the wine-soaked wood come to the fore: heaps of French oak and dark cherry fruitiness pour forth from its deepest, dark black realms, leaving any dark chocolate and roasted characters in a supporting role. There's a touch of leather and a hint of spicy booze in there too, plus a lingering, drying, roasty, tannic aftermath.
