Anderson Valley Releases Huge Arker Imperial Stout
(Boonville, CA) – Born from the exclusive partnership with the iconic Lawrenceburg, Kentucky distillery, the Anderson Valley Wild Turkey “Barl Series” continues to explore new frontiers in barrel-aged craft beers with its newest offering: Huge Arker Imperial Stout. Beginning in early February, limited quantities of draft and 22oz bottles will begin making their way to select markets across the U.S.
True to its Boontling moniker, “Huge Arker” is a massive force of nature that detonates on the tongue. Weighing in at 13.5% ABV and 88 IBU, this imperial stout is aged in Wild Turkey Bourbon barrels for several months until it fully matures. It boasts a deep mahogany color and dark, luscious aromas of burnished oak that mingle with candy sugar, bourbon and hearth-baked bread. The luxurious flavors redolent of honey and molasses are intertwined with the richness of dark chocolate and the ardent warmth of alcohol, underpinned with hints of coffee, vanilla and dark fruits.
“I believe the deep “alligator char” used in our American oak barrels truly compliments the full-bodied, roasty nature of this imperial stout,” says Jimmy Russell, Wild Turkey Master Distiller. “Even though our barrels are used only once to age our family of bourbons, it’s great to see their legacy continue on in the form of creating world-class bourbon barrel-aged beers.”
“We combined the passion and innovation of our brewers with the tradition and consistency of Wild Turkey Bourbon barrels to create this collection of world-class barrel-aged beers,” said Trey White, owner of Anderson Valley Brewing Company. “After the success of the highly popular and sessionable Anderson Valley Wild Turkey Bourbon Barrel Stout, it was only natural for us to continue experimenting with new beers to expand the series.”
