Abita Bourbon Street Mint Julep

Bourbon Street Mint Julep Stout is a stout that has fresh spearmint added and is aged in small batch bourbon barrels. It is brewed with a combination of pale, caramel, and roasted malts. The caramel and roasted malts give the beer its dark color and sweet roasted flavors. After fermentation and aging the beer is transferred into the bourbon barrels. It is then aged for another 8 weeks to absorb all of the flavors from the barrels. The beer is the then transferred from the barrels into another aging tank where the mint leaves are added. The result is a flavorful stout with chocolate and roasted flavors from the malt, refreshing flavors from the mint, and warming bourbon flavors from the barrels.
