About the event
This year for International Stout Day, we will be pouring three stouts, our Colossal One, Colossal Six and a Calvados Barrel-Aged Colossal Six. Each Stout will be priced individually or try a flight of all 3 for $10. They will be available on draft only while supplies last, for in house consumption only.
We do not have a Food Truck scheduled, so please plan ahead and bring your own food or have something delivered.
About the beer:
Colossal One
Diverging from most imperial stouts due to the use of Belgian yeast, Colossal® One pours inky black with dark beige foam. The aroma is complex and balanced with notes of bittersweet chocolate, roasted coffee, and clove. Full bodied and satisfying in every way, this beer finishes with a light bitterness and smooth flavors of roasted malt, semisweet chocolate, and a hint of dark fruit spice.
Colossal Six
Black as the night sky, Colossal® 6 is a Russian Imperial Stout with aromas of toffee and freshly roasted coffee. This full-bodied stout holds a depth of complex flavors, with pronounced notes of semisweet chocolate and malt roastiness, balancing out with subtle notes of dark fruit. This well-rounded beer finishes smooth and deceivingly drinkable!
Calvados Barrel-Aged Colossal Six
We at Port City are happy to introduce a new twist on our Russian Imperial Stout known as Colossal 6: the Bourbon-Calvados Barrel Aged Colossal 6. This version was aged for 15 months in a calvados barrel from our friends at One Eight Distilling that they had used to finish an 11 year wheated bourbon. The semisweet chocolate and roasted coffee flavors of our Colossal 6 pair wonderfully with the toasty oak, crisp apple, and vanilla notes of the barrel to create a full-bodied, smooth as silk beer drinking experience.
