To craft this beauty, the crew began with eight different specialty malts, including chocolate malt, oats, and beechwood-smoked malt, giving it richly complex cocoa tones, whispers of campfire, and roasty coffee. They hopped it with Chinook for a mild bitterness hinting at a touch of pine resin. Finally, a snooze in maple syrup barrels infused the beer’s smooth body with woodsy toffee sweetness, nuances of vanilla, and subtle oaky tannins.
