Blend of Barleywine Ale & Rye Ale Double Barrel Aged in Bourbon Barrels
On the occasion of our quindecennial, we aimed to produce a celebratory Deep Wood Series blend representative of both our most disciplined and ostentatious tendencies.
The fusion of extended-aged, double barrel Straight Jacket and Ryeway to Heaven, each embellished with new French oak, is then finished with a surgical strike of sweet and tart cherries. A familiar and satisfying progression into metered extremity.
On behalf of the whole Revolution Brewing crew past and present, thanks for coming along.

Can. Pours clear mahogany, medium beige head, decent lacing. Aroma is cherries, bourbon, vanilla, toffee, dark sugars. Flavor is medium plus sweet, light plus bitter. Medium body. This is a good beer, but it manages to be worse than either of its two components. Stupid cherries.

12 ounce can from Tavour. Dark brown pour. Foamy tan head settles to a small ring. Aromas of dark malt, whiskey, toffee, oak, rye, dark cherries and vanilla. Wow, first sip is intensely flavorful. A big dose of booziness is followed by complex notes of dark cherries, vanilla, brown sugar, whiskey, oak and Kirschwasser. Simply amazing. As the brew warms, the depth and complexity expand.
