Braxton Brewing Company will be releasing the first beer in their Heritage Series on Saturday, December 5, 2015. Dark Charge, an Imperial Stout, will be released in 22 oz. bottles along with three variants: Bourbon Barrel-Aged, Bourbon Barrel-Aged with Vanilla, and Bourbon Barrel-Aged with Starter Coffee. These bottles will be released during the Braxton Block Party.
"This is the type of beer that gets our entire team excited. We've been planning this beer since we opened and truly cannot wait for you to try it!" said Jake Rouse, Braxton Brewing Company CEO. "Barrel-aging is a true art, and watching our brewing team work together on developing these flavors has been a ton of fun. It's going to be something truly special."
Dark Charge is a massive Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout that showcases Kentucky's heritage - bourbon. Dark as the Covington night, this beer features notes of stone fruits, chocolate, coffee, oak, roasted malts, and umami. With an oil-like consistency, and tan head, it is bold enough to inspire you and strong enough to light up a city.
"From the beginning, barrel-aging has been a big focus of ours. There are limitless possibilities that can have a major flavor impact: barrel type, length of aging, and the different ingredients you can add to the barrels themselves," said Evan Rouse, Braxton Brewing Company's Head Brewer. "After a lot of planning for the first release of this beer, we believe it was a huge success highlighting all of those factors."
This will be the first bottle release in Braxton Brewing Company's short seven-month history. An extremely limited number of each bottle will be hand numbered and sold in the taproom on Saturday, December 5 to coincide with Repeal Day. To celebrate, Braxton Brewing Company is throwing the inaugural Braxton Block Party.
"In our neighborhood, block parties were always centered around the garage. It's a place where we would welcome friends and family to share stories, meals, and of course beer," said Braxton CEO Rouse. "Those parties truly became a part of our heritage. It's in that spirit that on December 5, we'd like to invite you to our Block Party at the new garage for the release of our first beer in the Heritage Series - Dark Charge. Don't miss this rare chance to try a beer we've been planning since we turned the lights on at 27 West 7th!"
