Sour-Barrel-Aged Strong Ale
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!

Obguthr.... airplane glue? Don’t you mean horse glue? ;) 750 mL bottled shared by BrewEngingeer at the 18th Richmond Ratebeer Gathering. Pours a hazy amber with a thin off-white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of lots of spice, citrus, tropical fruits and a buttery note. The taste is tart tropical fruits, citrus, wood, tannic and vegetal notes, and spice. Medium bodied. Nice.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a white head that starts and remains at the edges. Aroma has a light funk note with a strong sour note that is quite acidic. Flavor has a strong sourness throughout with a hint of fruit, a strong acidic note and just a hint of underlying funk.

Bottle. Pours with a hazed golden-orange hued body with a lasting white head. Aromas are vinous, funk, lemon, lactic acid, peppery, mildly bready. Some earthy brett notes, damp leaves. Flavors are very sour, doughy, mild acetic, wine, vinous. Quite tart overall. Mild citrus, some pineapple esters, and mild brett phenolics. Lively bubbles, with a dry finish. Alcohol is well hidden.

On tap at Draughthouse. Pours a cloudy orange with a small creamy off white head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is butter malt and honey. Medium mouthfeel with sweet hop and buttery finish. Hides alcphol very well making it easy to drink, a very good Wild ale fom Jester King.
