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.

12 oz bottle shared by tfontana, thank you..
Aroma has mild bourbon, raisins, toffee . The flavor follows with a mild bourbon throughout. Malt dominates with toffee, raisin, mild earth.. No oxidation or off flavors. Alcohol is not found. Pretty good as expected.

Bottle pour (not sure where I got it). Dark orange-light brown, ring of head, lacing. Aroma is strong bourbon, toffee, dark fruit. Taste is strong bourbon, toffee, raisin, light brown sugar. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Good strength and well balanced.
