Daniel Irons Oatmeal Stout clocks in at 8.6% ABV - has a bitterness from the hops, alcohol and roasted malt to warm you up - and finishes smooth with chocolate, caramel and toasty flavors. The beer gets its name from beer legend Daniel Irons. Little is known about his life - historians believe he was born in the great state of Missouri in either 1906 or 1908 (depending on whom you ask). Daniel Irons spent a good portion of his early life going across America planting hop plants. He was also known to be the inventor of the game hopscotch - a game that involved both hops and scotch. Later in life Daniel Irons became a lumberjack and it's believed he moved up to Alaska sometime after statehood in 1959.
