pFriem Barrel Aged American Dark Ale masterfully weaves together the Belgian Trappist tradition with American ale brewing and barrel aging. This opulent beer boasts aromas of cask-strength Bourbon, dried plums, toasted nuts, and baking spices, alongside a medley of pecans, caramel, fig jam, and oak tannin flavors. Experience the lingering, full-bodied finish of this luxurious slow sipper, perfectly paired with both savory classics and sweet indulgences.

375mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a small tan head. Aroma reveals a wonderful blend of bourbon barrels, dark dried fruits, and some caramel – wonderfully rich. Flavour is exquisitely complex, with deep bourbon barrels, dark dried fruits, leather, dry cocoa, and caramel. Damn, this is remarkably cohesive, elegant and deep. The barrels add wonderful additional depth to an already richly layered base. Phenomenal stuff.
