A special rare release of our Chris Kael Impale’d Ale done up with a little help from our good friends at Angel’s Envy. We take our Angel’s Envy aged Impale’d Ale then re-age it for 5 months in Woodford Reserve Bourbon barrels. The result is a “Double Barrel” aged beer that packs a punch. Strong flavor of bourbon with a noticeably upfront alcohol presence, mildly balanced by hints of rye and dark cherry.

Draught @ Yardbird, Las Vegas. Sweetish, heavy and slightly boozy and roasty with some coffee, cocoa and chocolate.

6oz pour @Able Baker Vegas. For a brown ale, it's dark. Black with the tiniest bit of russet highlights. Oatmeal head, lingering lace. Nutty with a not quite charred bread crust. Easy. Taste is mellow malt, sharp richness, quite thin body, with a big acidic follow through. Lingering mellow bitterness throughout seems to be the playbook at Able. It doesn't work every time. Finish is nutty. Good.

Draft pour at Able Baker, Las Vegas, as part of a house picked sample tray. I cannot believe how smooth this drinks for double digits. I could cut it in half and believe it. Soft cocoa notes, some caramel malt. Late nutty reminder. Very smooth imperial. Dark chocolate brown pour. Not sure how they pulled this one off. Quintessential brown ale here.
