Clare Valley Brewing - Port Barrel Aged Stout

Another fine effort from CVBC. This stout is fruity with an awesome port aroma that invites the pallet with its intriguing almost Spanish beer like qualities. Drinking this in The Gilbert Street Hotel which has become a South Australian Mecca for great craft breweries in Adelaide. The barrel aging process is starting to get traction with many craft brewers delivering speciality brews using similar techniques. I must admit @ 6% the end results are amazing. Deep malts provide a rich chocolate complexity that is sweet finished in the port barrel. Brilliant score 9.8 out of 10.
