The McMenamins up here in Portland, OR has on tap right now something they call:
Barrel-Aged Philosopher's Stone.
Below is the only information they have on it.
Would anyone have any recommendations as to a recipe that might sound like what this implies?
(Would LOVE an actual clone recipe, but doubt that's possible.)
"This particular Philosophers Stone is an English Strong Ale, brewed to emulate the beers of the Dark Ages. Aged for three months in oak, its original sweetness has morphed into malt complexity and the finish is now deliciously dry and woody.
Special Techniques: Aged Three Months in Second Run Whiskey Barrels
Malts: Premium 2-Row, Munich, Carastan 30/37, Crystal 135/165, Roast
Hops: Chinook, US Golding
Calories: 287 Carbohydrates: 26.7
OG: 1.067 TG: 1.013 ABV: 6.97 IBU: 15 SRM: 16"
