From Heavy Seas:
Belgian-style ale aged on four exotic woods
ABV: 11.25%
Available March - April
We are very excited to introduce a NEW offering in the "Uncharted Waters" Series: Plank IV!
In 2011, the Plank project began. In brief, the goal was to influence the flavor profile of beer using woods that have rarely, if ever, been used in aging beer before. Plank I was an "olde style" English Ale aged on kilned Poplar wood planks.Plank II in 2012 was a German style Doppelbock aged on a combination of Poplar and Eucalyptus wood. Plank III in 2014 was a Belgian Tripel aged on Jamaican Allspice wood.
This version of the Plank series is aged on "planks" of Poplar, Cherry, Jamaican Allspice, and Cuban Cedar."
"
A deep garnet hued brew with rich caramel malt flavors dominate the nose and pallet. Fruity esters of plum, raisin, and dates abound," says Christopher Leonard, Heavy Seas Brewmaster and Operations Manager. "A hint of roasty chocolate compliments the evident alcohol while vanilla, almond, clove, and tannic notes from the diverse wood treatment contribute a mysterious complexity.
The official release party in the Heavy Seas Tap Roomwill be Wednesday, March 16th from 3:00 - 10:00pm.
