Firestone Walker Brewing Company
Reserve Series Double DBA Imperial Special Bitter

No hurry to drink these. Barrel notes getting well integrated, and the alcoholic bite has mellowed. Deep and complex. Toffee, sherry, hazelnut. Fantastic.

Got 13 old vintage Firestone beers of various years and names from a coworker this was the only year and beer I got two of so figured I’d crack it open. Tastes of brandy, coffee, toffee, and dark chocolate with no bite at the end like a flavorful brandy with no bite super interesting and excited for the other various firestone vintage beers I received

Jan 20th, 2024The nose initially smells of caramel and toffee and generalizable baking spices. This gives way to a light smell of maple. The palate is complex with hazelnut and toffee, vanilla and cardamum. The alcohol is well disguised, though the beer is a little more full bodied than I would personally like. Overall, a. outstanding beer, best enjoyed with friends. Or alone, because it's Wednesday, and fuck it.
