About This Beer
You’ve probably never tasted a beer as mind-bendingly complex as Firestone Walker’s 25th Anniversary Ale. To make it, the brewers took five of their legendary barrel aged brews and blended them together. Here’s what’s inside:
41% Parabola Bourbon Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout
28% Tequila Barrel Aged Velvet Merkin Milk Stout
13% Brandy Barrel Aged Barley Wine
10% Bourbon Barrel Aged Stickee Monkee Quadrupel Ale
8% Whiskey Barrel Aged Wheat Wine
It’s like an entire cellar’s worth of enviable Firestone Walker beers in every drop!
According to the brewers, “25 is best enjoyed when poured carefully into a half-filled brandy snifter or wine glass. Swirl and allow it to warm to 55F to fully enjoy the pleasing and complex aromas.”
We’ll warn you right now, it’s going to require an awful lot of patience to sit and let this beer warm to optimal temperature.
Tasting Notes
As soon as you pour it, aromas of brandy, chocolate, and coconut come billowing from the glass. You might also catch a subtle nuttiness drifting through, and even a touch of tequila. When you finally take a sip, you’ll discover a harmonious symphony of cocoa and black cherry flavors, punctuated by notes of vanilla and caramel that resonate from beginning to end. Echoes of brandy and tequila reverberate across the palate long after the liquid is gone.
