From Breakside Brewery:
Breakside Brewery is excited to announce the return of one of our most popular draft-only seasonals. Salted Caramel Stout is a loose collaboration between us (Breakside) and our friends at Salt & Straw and Jacobsen Salt Co. The idea for this beer was born about a year and a half ago when Tyler Malek of Salt & Straw and I first started collaborating on a few different ice cream and beer projects.
We’ve scaled our original pub recipe up to a production sized batch, and it is delicious.
The base beer sticks close to the grain bill of many of our dark beers–Two Row, Flaked Barley, Chocolate and Roast malts–and has a very light hop profile. Jacobsen fleur de sel was added during to the whirlpool and a non-fermentable salted caramel was blended in during fermentation. The finished beer is a true “dessert beer,” with rich caramel sweetness up front and a pleasing, drying saline note on the finish. It comes in at 6.6% and 28 IBUs.
The beer is draft only and ships to Maletis tomorrow. It is a one-off for 2013, so when it’s gone it’s gone. The beer was just tapped at both our Dekum and Milwaukie outlets and can be enjoyed there alongside a number of the other fun stouts that we’ve brewed over the last few months (e.g. Savory Stout, Cafe de Olla Stout, Dry Stout). It will be available to bars by way of Maletis, and of course, it will be included as part of our Spring Beer Showcase at Tabla next Tuesday, April 9.
