This decadent Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout was brewed with Belize, Guatemala, and Mexico cacao from a beloved bean to bar chocolate maker.Weldwerks Brewing in Greeley, Colorado, recently partnered with Denver bean to bar chocolate maker Cultura Chocolate on a variant of their legendary Medianoche Imperial Stout that’s all about the chocolate.Double Chocolate Medianoche was aged for 24 months in 5-6 year-old MGP high rye bourbon barrels, and the brewers felt the resulting batch of Medianoche expressed such a rich, complex chocolate character that it deserved even more real chocolate. They conditioned the finished beer on Belizean, Guatemalan, and Mexican cacao nibs from Cultura, as well as a subtle addition of Congo vanilla beans.Listen to this quick episode to learn more about this fascinating (and delicious) collaboration.The music for this episode is an instrumental version of the song “Walls”, written and performed by indie folk musician Anna p.s.
