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!

Sample at Aficionado’s during the "Big Bad Bottle Share" on 02/10/2017. Hazy bright orange color with a medium white head that burns away steadily to a film. Stringy lacing. Aroma of funky lemon, yeast and malt. Medium to full body with flavors of funky yeast, citrus, oak and malt. The finish is funky citrus and yeast. Pretty good overall.

Bottle at RBGT. Pours cloudy amber. Aroma is funky farmhouse, some fruit, little oak barrel. Body is medium, lightly sour with a good tartness and a late bitterness. Long and fruity, yet lightly boozy palate.

750ml bottle from last night’s share. Pours out a cloudy opaque brown with a small beige head. Aroma is initially some light fruity notes, tartness also comes through, as does some of the barrel. Taste is initially the sourness, but behind that lingers the fruity tastes and a bit of savory spice.

Draft @ Moeder Lambic Original, Irish Craft Beer #1, shared with 77ships. Cuivrée, col fin blanc. Arôme au nez malté, biscuité, rétro marqué de brett, pointe houblonnée en rétro apportant une fin parfumée et fruitée. Palais est malté, pointe d’aigreur avec un profil plaisant de barrique. Brett bien en évidence avec cette balance provenant des houblons C mais qui restent malheureusement un peu trop discret. Caractère plaisant entre rustique grains assez typique de Jeter et le marqué de brett.
