Wow.

Thank you for posting the link.

That beer sounds absolutely amazing, but, but, but, 19.7% abv?

This is far stronger than something such as a Belgian quadrupel (which usually clocks in at something between 9-11%), and far stronger than even those rich, robust, red wines (which would be around 14-14.5%, very occasionally, perhaps, 15%), while venturing well into the territory of fortified wines.

Hm.

In that case, I can well understand how this is a beer that one would (or could) only consume one beer at a time, sipping, sampling, savouring nice and slowly.

Do enjoy.

It is a doozy!!! And yes it is a sipping beer... I mean I am sure there are some crazy folks who chug this... but not I. It is freaking delicious.

The tasting notes (from the link you so kindly supplied) read as follows: "Rich, complex flavor from time spent aging in bourbon barrels mingles effortlessly with distinct notes of crème brûlée, poached figs, and milk chocolate."

All I can say to that is "yum".

Actually, that beer sounds absolutely delicious.

Ah, “the Bruery”! Because, if you google “the brewery”, that’s probably not quite unique.

I had a lovely Spanish strawberry sour tonight. Sáez & Sons makes awesome fruit beers.

Me, I am happily imbibing a Weissbier Dunkel from Weihenstephaner.

Last week?

Six bottles each of Weistephaner Helles, Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier, Weihenstephaner Weissbier Dunkel, and Weihenstephaner Korbinian; plus a few bottles of wine (mostly Chablis).
