Brewmaster's Collective Exclusive: A special imperial edition of the beer that started it all for Firestone Walker: DBA. We added a dash of rye to the original DBA mash bill, then aged the beer in 10-year-old rye whiskey barrels. Peppery spice notes from the rye play perfectly off DBA's caramel and butterscotch character, creating an amped-up iteration of a brewery classic.

Smooth, malty and sweetish with some rye bread, barrel, toffee, syrup, caramel, prunes, vanilla, hints of oak, wood. Quite nice and balanced.

375ml bottle from Tavour. Mahogany pour, thin layer of beige foam. Aroma is toasty, rye, wooden, raisins, plums. Taste is a nice rich brew of dark, toasted malts, pit fruit, candied orange peel. Mildly spicy with a pleasant warmth.

My 8,100th beer rating. 500ml black bottle from Tavour. Hazy mahogany brown pour. Small creamy beige cap. Sweet toasted malt nose hints at caramel and dark dried fruits. Flavor is less sweet and more intense. I’m getting dry, earthy malt notes from the rye grain bill. Added notes of caramel, oak, dark dried fruits and peppery hops. Sticky mouthfeel. Dry, bitter finish.

Bottle at 12.6% from the brewery. Pours clear orange tinged brown with a very transient head. Strong aroma of rye - light whiskey notes. Approaching full body. Flavor is pleasing slightly toffeeish malt with some whiskey and a firm rye spice aspect. Wood too. Not dry, but not sweet. Rye spice and perhaps whiskey sub for hop in the bitterness. Very tasty.
