Prairie Pirate Noir?

[The_Nid_Hog]

I just had a chance to try Prairie Artisan Ale's Pirate Noir the other day. It's an imperial oatmeal stout aged in rum barrels. I think I'll just take a shot at a high gravity oatmeal stout and add some oak cubes soaked in rum. Anybody have any special insights into Prairie's recipe?

Nobody?

This is a great beer. Just had one a few days ago. Lots of raisin flavor. Possibly from special b malts. Good luck taking a run at it. Any trials yet?

I haven't done anything yet--have a couple of brews to clear out before I get to it. It would be nice to hear from somebody who has made something similar.

Any chance you gave this a shot yet?

No, I've been distracted. Bottled a bunch of sours that i had going, and started two solera projects. I think I'm going to toss some oak cubes in some good rum but put off the brew until the end of the summer. It should be a good project to get ready for around Halloween.

try emailing the brewer! There is little to no information on this beer other than its an imperial oatmeal stout. Looking at beer advocate their recipe has evolved over time - steadily getting bigger (higher alcohol/FG). Tasting this beer I wouldn't be at all surprised if it finishes in the 1.040s or higher
