Beer God Marty Scott and Top 5 Dead or Alive Brewmaster Jim Cibak return with the October Revolution Deep Woods Lineup.
At the heart of the series is the glorious, oatmeal stout powerhouse Deth’s Tar, a beer both criminally underrated and endlessly beloved by those who chase its balance of velvet richness and oak-kissed depth.
Co conspirators for this release are Chicago’s own Dark Matter Coffee and a crew from Northern California – Creative Oak. A consulting firm that specializes in toasted oak barrels that highlight a specific flavor that naturally occurs in wood through convection roasting techniques.
It’s a fascinating approach that we’ve seen deployed at wineries and distilleries more often than we even would for a beer release.
Deth’s Tar, Café Deth, Vanilla Deth, and Cocoa Vanilla Deth is the lineup for October,
Cocoa Vanilla Deth sees the 19.2 oz format and is a nod to the pandemic when release party only variants were subjected to curbside crowler releases due to the shut down.
Where the 4pks are meant to be balanced, drinkable, and very expressive..the 19.2 collection is unapologetic with emphasis on flavors focused on the notes beyond what malt and barrel provide.
Cafe Deth rests for 24hrs on Dark Matter Coffee before packaging while Vanilla Deth spotlights hand split bourbon soaked Ugandan vanilla beans + components of vanilla derived from toasted French oak and American Oak. It’s a dynamic journey not to be missed.
