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!

On tap. Pours a dull copper with light head. Aromas of mashed fruit, pineapple, and sweet malts. Flavors of malty pineapple upside down cake - really - lots of cooked sweet pineapple, brown sugar and doughy malts. Ok some earthy Brett and copper as well. Most excellent.

A glass at Bells and Whistles shared with Sunshine. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is sweet with some sweet caramel, bread, and light mushroom notes. Similar taste with lots of bread notes. Bread bomb, but it's ok.

Draught, Bells & Whistles. Has a bit of haze, light tan. Just a thin head. On the nose, this has some alcohol, some malt stickiness, just a touch of brett and wood. On the palate, the alcohol sort of barges in and clutters the place up. It's still got some nice tartness and brett, and the wood character is quite nice, but the base isn't working out for me. I think more like the Gale's Prize Old Ale interpretation of the concept is more the sort of thing I'd love, but taking this on its own the alcohol is just a bit too strong and messes with the balance - still good and Jester Kingy, but yeah.

Draft. A- Caramel, malty, mild funk, raisins. A- Brown color, clear liquid, white head. T- Mild caramel, malty, bland. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, bland finish. O- A bit unimpressed here. A bit watery and bland. There was a touch of funk to it and loads of malty caramel. Didn't drink like 10% but wasn't very complex either.

Schön fruchtig in der Nase - im Trunk sauer, ländlich urtümlich, kernig, Äpfel, Vergorenes, Federweißer, mittig trocken, leicht alkoholisch. Dennoch verdammt gute Drinkability. Langer fruchtiger Nachhall. Fantastisch.

Blend #9 bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a pretty copper with two fingers of foam that lingers. Earthy brett aromas with hay, some light dried pineapple and oak. Tart on the palate, with some cherry and vinegar flavors. Clean and crisp, with a medium to medium strong tartness throughout. More brett, horseblanket and dried fruit notes on the finish. Warming alcohol present as well.

Lots of sour apricot, lots of sour plum like the fruit's actually not ripe. Hazy orange pour. Tangy as shit. Tap at Snally.
