The salt crust on the seared por­ terhouse contrasts beautifully with the rich sweetness of this barrel- aged stout. The brewer has se­ lected Kentucky bourbon barrels to impart sweet, spicy and vanilla notes, which play well with the caramelization that occurs as the steak is seared in a very hot pan.
