The Bruery The Gift
Strong Ale 17.5 º
This opulent British Strong Ale is a masterclass in blending, merging Cognac Barrel-Aged Black Tuesday, Anniversary Ale, and Bourbon Barrel-Aged White Oak Sap. At 17.5% ABV, it presents a profound sensory experience defined by heady aromas of caramelized figs, rich molasses, and decadent chocolate fudge. The integration of apples during the co-fermentation of White Oak Sap adds a nuanced fruit layer that weaves through the dense malt profile. Expect a massive, viscous presence where the warmth of spirit-soaked oak meets a complex tapestry of dark sugars, making for a slow-sipping, celebratory ale with immense depth.
Appearance. Deep, dark reddish-brown to nearly opaque. Low, tan-colored head with minimal retention and thick, oily legs due to the high alcohol content.
Aroma. High intensity with a complex bouquet of malty sweetness. Prominent notes of caramelized figs, molasses, and chocolate fudge are layered over bourbon and cognac oak. Subtle fruity esters reminiscent of cooked apples and dark stone fruits emerge alongside a noticeable but well-integrated alcohol presence.
Taste. Initial impression is intensely rich and malty. Deep flavors of toffee, nutty specialty malts, and chocolate fudge dominate the palate. The mid-palate reveals molasses and dried fruit complexity, specifically figs, balanced by the wood-derived tannins and spirit notes from the barrel aging. Bitterness is low to moderate, primarily serving to balance the significant residual sugar. The finish is long, sweet, and warming.
Mouthfeel. Full, chewy, and viscous body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is low, enhancing the beer's weight. Alcohol warmth is strong and very evident, reflecting the high gravity, yet remains creamy rather than harsh.
