Half Truth

Dark · Imperial Stout · 9.2% ABV

Half Truth

This blend of fresh and barrel-aged Stout has notes of vanilla bean, fresh crushed cacao, and toasty chocolate malt. In order to create a stout that forgoes extended barrel aging to mellow its character, we brewed a scaled-down version of Truth and blended it with threads from our cellar.

Not everything is as clear as it seems. Alongside our large-format releases during Two Weeks of Truth, we're bringing back a special blend that you can keep to yourself or gift to someone new to the world of barrel-aged stouts: Half Truth! To create 'Half Truth', we blend a thread of freshly brewed stout with select threads of its bigger brother 'Truth'. The base beer is lighter in body and texture, so when blended with a big barrel-aged expression, the result is a deceptively rich and robust stout. Notes of vanilla bean swirl with aromas of fresh crushed cacao and toasty chocolate malts. This beer bridges the distinct flavors of young Imperial Stout and its well-rested, oak-aged brethren. Perfect for when you want that magical flavor, but perhaps you don't feel like sharing.

In celebration of #twoweeksoftruth, we're delighted to introduce this little number called Half Truth. We brewed a brand new American Stout base to blend with a carefully decided volume of barrel-aged stout. The result is a beer that brings all of the bourbon, chocolate-forward deliciousness of it's bigger brother in a lighter, easier drinking package. Don't miss it as a complement to Truth! #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto
