About This Beer
Inspired by the Bourbon Street staple, the Sazerac, the brewers aged a Strong Ale for a whopping 23 months in Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey barrels, then let it rest for another month in orange and aromatic bitters barrels. Finally, they conditioned the brew on lemon, orange zest, licorice root, and star anise to simulate the expressive botanical flavor of absinthe.
Tasting Notes
Each sip is like a second-line parade of cocktail flavors marching across the tongue. Jazzy notes of anise and citrus act as the brass section, while a rich malty backbone holds down the beat. And like any good New Orleans celebration, the boozy 13.6% ABV keeps the party going!
