Wild Heavan Eschaton
9 Jan 2012 | posted by 5PBS | in Beer Tastings & Festivals, Growlers ~ On Tap
Eric Johnson’s latest creation, Eschaton, released draft-only (for now) in Athens and Atlanta/Decatur is ON!
Direct from Wild Heavan
Eschaton is a Belgian-style Quadrupel Ale Aged on Pinot Noir Oak Chips – 10.5% ABV, 20 IBU, 22 SRM
How about a big, malty beer that evokes a good red wine and with a drier finish than you’d expect at 10.5% ABV?
Eschaton is a one-of-a-kind oaked all-malt Quadrupel (or “Belgian Strong Dark” if you prefer) that abounds with dark fruit and pit fruit flavors as well as earthy spiciness. Vanilla oak and warm viniferous notes assert themselves as the beer warms to reveal additional layers of delicious complexity.
Eric’s suggested food pairings: Lamb, rabbit, duck, Stilton cheese, Belgian chocolate, tart fruit desserts.
