About This Beer
Matchless wanted to brew something special for their 6th Anniversary Blend, but they had one problem. Actually, they had two.
In one ear, they heard biscuity whispers from a Bourbon Barrel Aged Barleywine. In the other — enticingly fudgy persuasions from a Whiskey Barrel Aged Imperial Stout.
So they listened to both, blending them together to celebrate their iron anniversary!
Tasting Notes
The result is a hefty BA Strong Ale as unique as it is complex! This 4.27 UT-rated concoction brings you in with an aroma like a Fig Newton lightly toasted over a campfire! Plum and raisin notes are first to reveal themselves, dancing across the taste buds until the sweet malty backbone rises up to underscore a gooey caramel flavor.
Whiskey and Bourbon Barrels add two fingers’ worth of depth, with ribbons of vanilla tying bows around the oaky end of each smooth sip. And with a 12.6% ABV, getting to the bottom of all this complexity is sure to put you in the party spirit!
