Welcome to Bravissimo - the alpha edition of our signature barrel-aged Bravo brown ale. The journey of this beer began when we brewed a special high-gravity variant of Bravo at our Propagator R&D brewhouse in Venice, California. After a year of maturation in bourbon barrels at our Paso Robles brewery, this small-batch barleywine was blended back into a lot of traditional barrel-aged Bravo. The result is a richer, stickier rendition of this Firestone Walker classic. A beautiful barrel character permeates the finished beer, while Bravo's signature maple sap and chocolate flavors reach another level.

Capped bottle from the brewery. Pours clear dark brown with a tan/beige smear. Aroma of cherries, cinnamon, Bourbon and pale stone fruit. Approaching full bodied. Flavor is the aroma with some heat added. Not dry, lightly sticky. Lots of toffee to go with the heat. And lots of Bourbon! Overall it's sort of like eating pecans.
