Black Mission | Goose Island Beer Co.
ABV: 7.8%
IBU: 18
Style: Belgian Strong Dark Ale
Out of Production
Description: Black Mission is a recipe born of three brewers, inspired by two very different styles of beer, and designed to showcase the fruit for which it is named — Black Mission figs. The brewers used a simple but classic dessert as a starting point for their recipe, the fig newton. The fruity and spicy traits of a Belgian Tripel complement the toasty, graham cracker flavors of the malt. A secondary fermentation with Black Mission figs and lactose sugar enhances the sweetness and adds notes of dark, dried fruit. The result is much more than a cookie — it’s a beer.
