Boxer’s Revenge is a simple beer at heart. It’s a high gravity wort composed of malted barley, a little raw wheat, and just enough hops for balance. After primary fermentation in stainless steel with our mixed culture, we sent it to oak barrels for long term aging. Our latest batch spent 25 months in oak prior to blending and packaging. Our high gravity barrel-aged beers see extended time in oak to allow the flavors to mellow and integrate.
Fun fact — Boxer’s Revenge is the first beer we ever brewed in September of 2010. We released other beers before it since it’s barrel aged, but it was our first brew.
Another fun fact — the label art for Boxer’s Revenge was inspired by George Orwell’s Animal Farm. We like to pretend that Boxer the Horse escaped to open a brewery!

Bottle at Boreft Beer Festival ’12, Bodegraven: Hazy golden coloured brew with an fine sour taste and hints of fruit. Texas meets Flanders.

16 oz. can. Pours a clear, bronze color, with a big, foamy, tan head. The nose is limeade, musty earth, light cherry, brandy, and vanilla. Sweet, with a bright and aggressive sour flavor. Medium body, sharp, and clingy. Nice, mellow sour.

Pint can - lightly hazy copper - fairly well-sustained head - nose of white grape, oak, apple, musky brett, light acetone - medium body - nicely complex brett funk and acetic acid, but restrained enough to not be palate and stomach-destroying - grade must, apple, moderate oak - finish is dry and moderately acidic - nice to see balance and complexity in a contemporary sour.

750 ml bottle shared with the KL tasting crew. Poured a hazy light amber colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is yeasty, big citrus fruits, light woody hops. The flavour is moderate sour, with a yeasty, woody, tart citrus, light hoppy palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Packs a punch, but nicely balanced.
