Capriole Mont St Francis

From the hills of southern Indiana, Judy Schad produces goat milk cheese in her husband's family farm. 

Mont St. Francis was named for a nearby Franciscan retreat and was first made in 1994 when there were few American washed-rind cheeses. Cheeses like the rustic, stinky Mont originated in monasteries across Europe and were traditionally washed in brine or beer. We finish ours in Russian Imperial Stout to enrich its funky, pungent flavor with a sweet, smoky finish.
