Description
Firestone Walker Brewing Company began innocently enough: two brothers-in-law—Adam Firestone and David Walker—debating the subject of good and bad beer. Their search for a decent local ale finally led them to brew their own starting in 1996. The original Firestone Walker brewery was located in a converted shed on the family vineyard, where they experienced no shortage of trials and tribulations. From these humble beginnings was born one of the world’s most decorated breweries.

At Firestone Walker, Beer Before Glory is our mantra for reminding ourselves we do what we do because of the beer. Period. It’s our battle cry to never accept well enough. It’s the high aim for a perfect beer we will never make. Beer Before Glory is our craft, ever honed on the stone of humility.

Bottle. Color: Dark reddish brown, light brown head. Aroma: Sweetish, Bourbon, caramel malt, spicy hints. Taste: Well balanced mix of Maple syrup, Bourbon, spicy notes, dark malt, caramel, figs, some wood. Boozy hints. Full, bit creamy body. Below average carbonation. Medium sweet, over moderate bitterness. Long lasting finish. Nice complexity and balance.

(2025 Vintage) Drunk at midnight 🌙 Dark sweet lightly roasted malty with lots of opulent chocolate, sweet molasses, medium to full bodied, nice vanilla and almond nutty interplay into the bourbon laced warming malty close. Lovely, goes great with the flødeboller.

Pour is a clear golden with a large white head. Aroma is blueberry, weed and green onion. Flavor is pretty much the same. Blueberry Kush with a onion aftertaste. Very fresh and flavorful

Aromas are dark malt, molasses, with hints of roast, spice and other dark fruit. Flavors are similar to nose and mild. Soft carbonation and decent body. A bit chalky. Didn't need to be aged.

Хороший пастрик от старичков крафта, чувствуют тему и пытаются угнаться за ней. Сладко, шоколад, баланс.
