Hard sauce is a rich, sweet pie topping made with alcohol that pairs wonderfully with pecan pie. Hard Sauce is a rich, sweet bourbon barrel-aged ale that contains alcohol and tastes remarkably like pecan pie. We suggest pairing Hard Sauce with pecan pie topped with hard sauce.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber hue with a medium white head. A huge nose, funky at times, sweet bourbon. Rich flavors, something akin to apples, sweet nutty elements, bourbon. Very flavorful. Sweet, but not cloying.

750mL bottle pours with an amber body that supports a thin tan head. The aroma offers up molasses, sweet malts, some brown sugar stewed plums, oak, a dash of earthy chocolate and then a mild bourbon booze note. The taste is similar with molasses, thick sweet malts, smooth soft sweet bourbon and then a spicy wood note. Another sip and chocolate and boozy brown sugar nuanced plums bubble to the surface. Solid sipper.

Bottle, thanks for sharing! Pours a clear brown with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of soy sauce with roasted malts, dark grains and bitter chocolate supporting. Flavor has soy sauce and sweet start grains throughout with a bit of roasted malts and chocolate supporting.

Bottle received through the El Catador club. Blackish dark brown pour with a creamy mocha head. Red apple & toffee malts nose. Vanilla, golden syrup & maple. Sweet, malty & fruity taste. Round mouthfeel. Bit too apple forward for me. Mark’s pecan pie which we had with it was a nice match with the beer though.
