Brooklyn Black Ops

Brooklyn Black Ops is a robust stout aged in Four Roses Small Batch barrels.

The partnership began with a long-time friendship between Brooklyn Brewery Brewmaster Garrett Oliver and Four Roses COO and Director of Operations Ryan Ashley. The beer that resulted is a Black Ops aged in Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon barrels selected by Master Distiller Brent Elliott.

Brooklyn Black Ops is a legend, originally concocted by the Brooklyn brewing team under the cover of secrecy and hidden from everyone else at the brewery. This version rested in the hand-selected Small Batch barrels for months, emerging with a hint of mellow Bourbon character, and a smooth, regal finish. The beer is re-fermented with Champagne yeast and raises a rich, fluffy dark brown head, combining big chocolate and coffee notes with a rich underpinning of vanilla-like oak.
