24k Tuesday was inspired by everyone’s favorite seems-healthy-but-isn’t dessert, carrot cake! Or rather, 24 karat cake, because it’s as good as gold if you ask us. This rich imperial stout was aged in bourbon barrels then treated with fresh carrots, walnuts, milk sugar for creaminess, raisins, and just a pinch of spice for a tasty treat, Black Tuesday style.
Based on The Bruery’s high-abv BA Imperial Stout, Black Tuesday. The simple elegance of Black Tuesday makes it the ideal canvas for adjuncts. The next in this year’s Small Batch Black Tuesday treatment series, crafted exclusively for Society members, 24k Tuesday was inspired by the familiar flavors of a freshly-baked carrot cake. Pouring a full-bodied jet black, the nose is immediately loaded with sweet aromas and a light amount of carrot. The addition of spices and milk sugar mimic the aroma of the creamy, buttery frosting. The flavors hit the inspiration on the head with abundant sweet notes laced with a hint of raisin, and carrot, and a subtle walnut finish.
