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!

Hazy dark amber color, steady off-white head. Tart, fruity, Bretta aroma. Medium-bodied. Tart, fruity, orange, citrus in the flavor. Quite likeable and balanced sour ale with long citrusy aftertaste.

Draught (10%) @ CBC’14
Aroma is fulfilled with fruit candy. Also some tart and funky notes. Flavour is rather tart with grapefruit, some earthy tones and distant lactic notes. Way more sour than I expected by the aroma. There’s also some green apples here. Nice, hides the ABV rather well.

Pours hazy dark orange with a smooth head. Aroma of sourish berries, tart fruits, wood, oak and vanilla. Taste is smooth, sweet and sourish with some tart berries, Bretta, wood, vanilla and blackcurrant. Finish is smooth and woody with Bretta, tartness and berries. Quite smooth and mildly sour, but still quite tasty wild ale.
