A dessert in a can, or glass, Mother Earth Brewing's latest 4Seasons release is Bourbon Barrel-Aged Maple & Pecan Pie.
A beer that should inspire thoughts of Pecan Pies made with a hint of bourbon, Mother Earth Brewing Company’s latest edition to their 4Seasons collection, is (naturally) Bourbon Barrel-Aged Maple & Pecan Pie.
The newest 4Seasons release starts out as an Imperial Stout, before being aged in prior-use bourbon barrels, along with including maple syrup and pecans. No stranger to this sweet sap, often found on pancakes, waffles, or a country breakfast after a long-night, Chris Baker was gushing over this pairing. Oh, and check out that, no so, secret ingredient in the process.
“This was an opportunity to have fun with maple, a flavor that has few applications outside of dessert-like beers. Notes of chocolate and coffee malts also create a rich environment that meld perfectly with sweet maple and nutty, earthy pecan. The mouthfeel is thick and luscious, and the aroma is like dessert-in-a-glass without being over-the-top. Brown sugar is added late-boil to create a distinct brûléed finish that’s just perfect for the changing of the season.”
