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, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of toasted nuts, medium roast, oak, and attenuated out dark sugars. Flavour is full of dry toasted oak, whiskey barrels, medium roast, and a hint of vanillin. Fairly dry, finishing with plenty of whiskey and toasted oak, with minimal sugars. Excellent.

Rating number 8,700. 500 ml bottle from Tavour. Opaque dark brown color. Frothy brown head settles to a small cap. Aromas of dark chocolate, oak and bourbon. Flavor upfront is sweet roasted malt, brown sugar, bourbon and oak. Added notes of vanilla and dark dried fruits. The high ABV is barely noticeable. Finishes sweet and sticky.
