An Agave-based Strong Ale, Agave Maria is The Lost Abbey’s first venture into oak aging in Tequila barrels to hit distribution.
Using a blend of Anejo and Reposado barrels and aged for a minimum of ten months, Agave Maria has hints of black pepper, sweet sugar, oatmeal, and oak with an earthy, bitter smoked chocolate on the finish. The base beer, a new Agave strong ale, was created specifically to pair with the spiciness of the Tequila, adding a sweet honey-like quality to the beer.

Bottled@sbwf14. Deep brown, lasting off white head. Toffee, Tequila, medicine aroma. Pleasant but odd. Flavor has tequila wibes, cactus. Yeast and medicine. One of the weirdest beers I have ever tried. Not necessarily bad, but different . But 13%? Wow.

Tasting at Jack’s RAH Annexe! Almost opaque dark brown beer, few tan bubbles not being a head. Light dry crisp palate. Mellow sourness. Limey tequila vibe, touch of herb. Trace of sweet candy fruits before a light finish. Some alcohol spice. Limey linger. Interesting and tasty.

Bottle. Deep brown liquid with small tan head. Aroma of dried fruit, spices, light coffee, raw sugar, toffee, oak and sweet booze. Taste is light sweet and light bitter with notes of raw sugar, light Tequila and dried fruit. Medium to full bodied with media carbonation. Pretty nice stuff.
