In 2010, we commissioned a local cooper to hand-craft two large barrels from Oregon White Oak with logs harvested from the Oregon coast range. The finished barrels, christened Chuck and Nate, are eight feet tall, six feet across and can each hold 1,500 gallons of beer. All Big Ass Barrel beers are aged for a minimum of 60 days.

On tap at Rogue San Francisco, pours a cloudy dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma is like a bee hive, bringing out waxy nectar and caramel. Flavour brings out honey, syrupy caramel notes, and some slight resinous hops. Well-balanced, but not the most refined or elegant mead. Solid - drinkable in smaller amounts.

On tap at Rogue, San Francisco. A brown, unclear drink with a thin, light beige head. The aroma has a touch of dark bread, caramel, dried fruits and some citrus peel notes. There’s a warming alcohol touch in the mouth, it’s full-bodied and soft, with flavors of dried fruits, caramel, bread and some chocolate. Hints of honey shows up after a while. Lasting sweet finish with all the goodiness found initially. A strong drink, but very nice. 130805

On tap at Pro Brewers Night, AHA Philadelphia 6/27/2013 A bit of bready and caramel malt with lots of alcohol and honey sweetness. That’s a big beer, tasty but strong.
