A Note on This Beer

Today’s barrel-aged Rackhouse Reserve captures the full range of Alesong’s GABF award-winning brewing power AND their masterful mixologist-esque blending.

First, the brewing: The skilled crew crafted a variety of base Ales, which they aged in unique spirit barrels for up to 18 months. Today’s Strong Ale derives from Ales aged in 6 year Woodford Reserve Bourbon, 6 year Four Roses Bourbon, and 4 through 10 year Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels. 

Next, the blending: The brewers spent hours mixing their collection of barrel-aged wonders,  blending and fine-tuning the proportions. They let their refined palates guide them, pinpointing the most delicious combination possible.

The divine result is today’s rich, 12% ABV dark chocolate flavored sipper, dappled with warm, barrel-aged notes. Toasted marshmallow and creamy caramel swirl into a hint of spiced Whiskey oak. 

Every sip is rich and alluring, the kind of artfully-crafted Ale that deserves a snifter and your full attention — the type of special brew you’ll remember long after the last drop’s gone.

Alesong’s won an astounding 8 GABF medals!

Tavour strictly supports independent beer. Alesong Brewing and Blending is certified independent by the Brewers Association

Loved this one. The flavors of chocolate to marshmallow to caramel mix so well in this beer. I'd have this with a rich meaty dinner or as a desert beer

Everything I want out of a barrel aged strong ale. Malty and a good but not overpowering bourbon barrel flavor.

Excellent barrel aged ale. Pours a dark caramel color. Sweet caramel on the nose. Dark fruit, dark chocolate, oak, and caramel notes balance well. Not overly sweet or bitter. Very smooth.

Nose: vanilla, cherry cola. Taste: toffee punches you right in the face, followed by smooth oakey vanilla, chocolate, and cola.
