About this beer

Pipeworks Brewing Co. presents Tales From the Oak, a 10.5% ABV Bourbon Barrel Aged Baltic Porter. This robust dark beer is brewed with barley and offers a complex flavor profile marked by notes of chocolate, caramel, and vanilla imparted from its time aging in bourbon barrels. The label artwork depicts a whimsical, somewhat eerie scene featuring a stylized owl perched amongst books and writing implements, with a looming, shadowy figure in the background, suggesting the namesake “tales” are of a mysterious nature. It’s presented as a limited release, with the label specifying it was brewed and canned in Chicago, Illinois, and including standard warnings related to alcohol consumption.

The brewing process emphasizes use of whole vanilla beans alongside the bourbon barrel aging, further contributing to the beer’s rich and sweet character. The beer’s elevated ABV is characteristic of Baltic Porters, which are known for their strong malt presence and full body despite a relatively clean finish. The label includes a small note attributing label art to Delay Osłon.
