Copper Patches
The Virginia Beer Company
Stout – 6.2% ABV – 26 IBU
Our year round Oatmeal Stout aged for three months in Copper Fox rye whisky barrels. The ensuing beer produces rich aromatics of bourbon and and a smooth mouthfeel with a softer roastiness than the base version due to the barrel-aging process. Elbow Patches: An Oatmeal Stout to be enjoyed with breakfast, lunch, dinner, or anytime in between. The use of flaked oats creates a smooth, velvety base that sets the stage for pronounced aromas reminiscent of chocolate and coffee. The surprising lack of astringent bitterness rounds out this dark beer's wide appeal. Aging: Copper Fox Distillery rye whisky barrels.
