Barrel-Aged Philosopher's Stone | McMenamins
ABV: 6.97%
IBU: 15
Style: Old Ale
Actively Produced
Description: Legend has it that a great alchemist, or philosopher, once turned lead (or maybe dirt) into gold using a magic crystal. This crystal became known as the Philosopher’s Stone. Many quests were launched to acquire this stone, but it was never recovered. Over the years, the phrase "Philosopher’s Stone" came to mean ‘that which is pursued but never obtained’ or ‘unobtainable perfection’. This particular Philosopher’s Stone is an English Strong Ale, brewed to emulate the beers of the Dark Ages. Aged for three months in oak, its original sweetness has morphed into malt complexity and the finish is now deliciously dry and woody. Special Techniques: Aged Three Months in Second Run Whiskey Barrels Malts: Premium 2-Row, Munich, Carastan 30/37, Crystal 135/165, Roast Hops: Chinook, US Golding OG: 1.067 TG: 1.013 ABV: 6.97 IBU: 15 SRM: 16
