Garage Project Bastard Rye Bourbon Barrel Aged
Belgian Strong Ale 14.7 º
This formidable Imperial Rye Belgian Golden Strong Ale offers a visceral sensory experience, marrying the delicate pome fruit esters of a traditional Belgian yeast with the rugged intensity of three years in American bourbon barrels. At a staggering 14.7% ABV, the profile is dominated by rich vanilla, toasted oak, and a distinctive spicy rye grain snap. The extended aging transforms the expected effervescence into a velvet-smooth, still-like viscosity. Aromas of pear and peppery alcohol merge with deep spirituous notes, while the palate delivers a complex interplay of sweet bourbon, herbal hop traces, and a lingering, warming finish.
Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (6-9 SRM); minimal white head with low retention; clear with a slight oily sheen from extended barrel aging.
Aroma. High intensity; prominent vanilla, toasted oak, and coconut from American bourbon barrels; spicy rye malt character; fruity esters of pear and red apple; significant but well-integrated peppery alcohol; low herbal hop notes.
Taste. Initial impression is rich bourbon sweetness followed by aggressive spicy rye and peppery alcohol warmth; pear-like esters and subtle clove phenols; moderate bitterness provides balance against the high gravity; finish is long and spirit-forward with lingering vanilla and dry oak tannins.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and viscous; low carbonation as intentionally designed; high alcohol warmth; exceptionally smooth and velvety creaminess with no harsh astringency.
