Into the Starkness

of Venice, California comes Into The Starkness, a barrel-aged Baltic porter conceived at our Propagator R&D brewhouse. The journey of Into the Starkness began when we brewed and lagered a special batch of porter at the Propagator, creating an intensely dark and remarkably smooth base beer. We then trucked the beer up the coast to our main brewery in Paso Robles, where it was racked to eight bourbon barrels for a full year of aging. The result is a masterpiece of Baltic Porter goodness, displaying flavors of roasty malts, milk chocolate, toffee, and dark rustic grains. Enjoy this beer now, or cellar in a cool, dark place between 45˚F and 55˚F. Allow it to warm up in the glass when serving.
