Bourbon Stout

Red stouts are unusual these days but are produced in a similar way to darker stouts, only the malts are roasted more lightly which gives the final brew a lighter, fruitier character and of course a signature red colour.

Product Details


We have just released Bourbon Stout (referred to as Bourbon Aged Stout in the US). This Innis & Gunn Red Stout has been brewed using rye crystal malt to give it its deep mahogany colour.  The Whitbread Golding hops complement the sweet biscuity malt with a soft hop bitterness.  We then matured this new brew for days over Bourbon-infused oak which gives it its mellow vanilla flavour and a nice warming Bourbon kick.



Red stouts are unusual these days but are produced in a similar way to darker stouts, only the malts are roasted more lightly which gives the final brew a lighter, fruitier character and of course a signature red colour.



Colour:  Mahogany red



Smell:  Roasted chestnuts, rich dried fruit and oaty biscuits



Taste:  Creamy chocolate with raisins, sultanas, hazelnuts and almonds



Finish:  Warming with a satisfying Bourbon kick



What to have it with:  Casseroles, chocolate pots and rum babas



 



If you're in the UK you'll find Bourbon Stout in a single box in Sainsbury's. Or you'll find it in our Christmas gift box this year along with, Original, Treacle Porter and a glass. And if you're in the US you'll find it in a giftbox with Rum Aged, Original and a glass.






Discovered by accident

p> Our beer’s distinctive depth of flavour owes a debt to good fortune. In 2002 a famous whisky distiller approached us for help. They were seeking to season some of their oak casks with the sweet, malty character of a full-flavoured beer. All the previous attempts had failed.

Eager to assist, we created a custom-made recipe and the resulting brew was put to bed in their barrels.

Thirty days on, our beer was thrown out and the whisky went in. During its maturation, the Scotch acquired extra qualities from the beer-infused wood, resulting in a greatly admired dram and many repeats of the successful experiment.

Then, months later and quite unexpectedly, our Master Brewer, Dougal, received an exciting call – this time it wasn’t the whisky getting rave reviews.

Some inquisitive souls at the distillery had sampled our beer after its time in casks. We did likewise…and the taste was remarkable. It had been transformed by the oak into an unusually refined brew. 

Ever since that heady day we’ve dedicated ourselves to sharing the unique flavours of our oak aged beers with the world, proving that a little luck can go a long way.
