Lucky Lab to Release Monster Beer

Portland's Lucky Labrador Brewing Company just announced it will be releasing a port barrel-aged Pavlov's Russian Imperial Stout. Brewer Ben Flerchinger said "We got a hold of a port barrel from Abacella winery in southern Oregon. The day they emptied it of port we drove it to Portland and filled it with imperial stout. There it sat for a good six months soaking up all the complex flavors of the wine soaked oak. Good raspberry, vanilla, black currant flavor that gives way to a caramel roasty finish."
Pavlov is slated to be sold at the Lucky Lab NW Quimby location on January 18th, 2008 for $8.95 for a 22-ounce bottle.
