August Schell Stag Series #9 Cave Aged Barrel Aged Lager

Stag #9 is a dark lager aged in American whiskey barrels stored in the brewery’s original, underground lagering caves. Located below the historic brewery, the naturally cooled caverns were originally constructed in the 1860’s to facilitate brewing in an era that predated electrical refrigeration. This specialty cave-aged, barrel-aged lager was created as the ninth installment in Schell’s Stag Series, – a collection of innovative and experimental, limited-edition brews released periodically throughout the year. Dark brown to black in color, the beer has roasted malt notes of dark chocolate, toffee, light oak, char and a hint of vanilla.
