Anniversary XIX (19) Ale (2015)

Firestone Walker Brewing Company · Strong Ale - American · 13.8% ABV

Anniversary XIX (19) Ale (2015) is an American strong ale crafted by Firestone Walker Brewing Company. This rich, chocolaty, and chewy brew features a dense chocolate truffle-like base with complex flavors of brandy-soaked raisin and holiday fruitcake. The vintage is a meticulous blend of four barrel-aged ales, anchored by equal parts of Parabola, a Russian imperial oatmeal stout aged in bourbon barrels, and Stickee Monkee, a Central Coast quad brewed with Belgian candi and Mexican turbinado sugar before aging in bourbon and whiskey barrels. The remainder of the blend consists of Bravo, an imperial brown ale aged in bourbon and brandy barrels, and Velvet Merkin, a traditional oatmeal stout aged in bourbon barrels. These components lend spicy oak, leather, and fruity accents to the final profile, creating a highly complex ale designed to reveal more aromas and flavors as it warms and breathes in the glass.
