Nellysford, VA – February 13, 2015 – Wild Wolf Brewing Company’s American Stout style ale took top honors at the 2015 Winter United States Beer Tasting Championship as the National Champion in the Stout category. “We are very proud of our American Stout. It is a seasonal beer for us, so we don’t have the luxury of brewing it often, but it is certainly a favorite with our Stout lovers” said owner Mary Wolf. “Once again, we are excited to receive an award from such a prestigious organization as the USBTC, this time receiving a National Champion designation in a category, we couldn’t be more pleased.”
The beer is black in color with caramel and roasted malt on the nose. Silky smooth mouthfeel with notes of chocolate and coffee, finishing with just a touch of roasted astringency and hop bitterness. Brewmaster Danny Wolf stated “American Stout is our original dark house beer. The recipe has remained unchanged since our first batch. It exhibits qualities of a strong stout as well as subtle quality of an American IPA. It truly represents the way we like our stouts!”
