San Diego, CA - February 9, 2017 - Just in time for Valentine's Day, Coronado Brewing Company is releasing a decadent Barrel-Aged German Chocolate Cake Imperial Stout.
This is the first offering in the company's newly redesigned Coronado
Collection. The company worked with local branding agency, Mires Ball,
to update the look and feel of the barrel-aged collection. "Our Coronado
Collection is reserved for barrel-aging special beers, and we wanted a
new design that stands out from our other offerings," says Brandon
Richards, COO, Coronado Brewing Company. "The new bottles are bold,
featuring the Coronado Brewing Co. 'CBC' monogram in a sleek,
monochromatic metallic gold. We think it's a nice departure for these
limited-release beers," says Richards.
The
first barrel-aged release of 2017 started off as a big Imperial Stout,
with complex layers of espresso, chocolate, and burnt toffee. The beer
then spent 6 months aging in freshly dumped bourbon barrels from Smooth
Ambler Distillery in West Virginia. "The barrels added a ton of rich
vanilla and bourbon notes to the imperial stout base," says Ryan Brooks,
Brewmaster, Coronado Brewing Company. "Then we turned up the volume and
blended in toasted coconut and cacao nibs to riff off of the classic
American German chocolate cake," says Brooks. Coronado's Barrel-Aged
German Chocolate Cake finishes at 9% ABV, with a lingering, sweet
coconut and chocolaty finish.
Fans can pick up 22oz bottles of Barrel-Aged German Chocolate Cake at the company's Tasting Room and Imperial Beach
location, beginning Thursday, February 9. The Tasting Room will also be
pouring this special beer on draft, in limited quantities while it
lasts. For more information about Barrel-Aged German Chocolate Cake,
