Welcome to a special imperial edition of the beer that started it all for Firestone Walker: DBA. We brewed this batch at double strength, then aged it for a year in 11-year-old Old Fitzgerald wheated bourbon barrels, which enhanced DBA's classic flavors of toffee and caramel with notes of baking spice, cocoa powder and dried fig. The result is Double DBA Batch 10k - a commemorative release that marks the 10,000th batch of beer brewed at our Paso Robles, California brewery.

To at Whole Foods. Pours clear mahogany with small ivory head that retains only as a ring of small bubbles. Rich Caramel, dark fruit and bready aroma. Flavor is rich malt and bread. Viscous mouthfeel that is thinner than expected in the finish. Sweetness lingers long. Alcohol burn is faint.

2nd to tick, but did the entering! Bottle from the brewery. Pours clear, dark mahogany with a slight tan head. Aroma of toffee, whiskey and a few other things hard to parse out. Full bodied. Quite clean. Flavor is the aroma plus some wood, and, dare I say, rye. Rye? Not dry, but not sticky. Not exactly bitter, certainly there's an equivalent. Great ale.
