BOURBON BARREL AGED WINTER ALE WITH COCONUT
This year’s release of B-Bomb is aged in 8–12-year-old American Oak bourbon barrels and is a blend of 9, 12, and 24-month old barrel-aged Winter Ale. This special edition adds toasted coconut to complement the bourbon, oak, cacao, leather, toffee, and dark coffee notes achieved from its extended barrel aging and barrel blending. Each barrel contributes a different note, and combining each barrel to create a coherent tone is a distinct art and true pleasure. Please do enjoy this unique barrel-aged ale today but know that Coconut Edition B-Bomb will age gracefully for years to come. Don’t Be Afraid To Be Abominable.
Down & Dirty: 2-Row Pale, Crystal-120, Munich, Roast Barley, Carafa-2, and Chocolate malts with Columbus, Willamette, and US Goldings hops with coconut.
ABV: 14.0% IBU: 65
Color: Deep black
Aroma: Toasted coconut, oak, bourbon, vanilla
Flavor: Chocolate, dark fruits, bourbon, coconut
Availability: Released mid-December, limited.
Fresh Range: Age this beer, or try one now...go on.
