Commercial Description:
Salvation. The name of two intricate Belgian-style ales created by us, Vinnie Cilurzo of Russian River Brewing and Adam Avery of Avery Brewing. After becoming friends a few years ago, we realized that we both had a Salvation in our line-ups. Was it going to be a problem? Should one of us relinquish the rights? "Hell no!" we said. In fact, it was quickly decided that we should blend the brews to catch the best qualities of each and create an even more complex libation. In April 2004, in top-secret meeting at Russian River Brewing (well actually it was packed in the pub, and many were looking over our shoulders wondering what the hell was going on), we came up with the perfect blend of the two Salvations. Natalie, Vinnie's much more significant other, exclaimed, "We should call this Collaboration, not Litigation Ale!" "Perfect!" we shouted. We celebrated deep into the night, (or is it morning?). Fast forward to November 14, 2006. After talking about it for over 2 years we finally decided to pull the trigger and Vinnie flew out to Avery to brew his Salvation exactly as he does in his brewery. This was blended with Avery's Salvation December 11th, 2006. We hope you enjoy it as much we enjoyed brewing and blending it.

Batch 1 (January 2007) - 8.99% ABV
Batch 2 (February 2008) - 8.72% ABV

Pours a cloudy brown light foam & lacing, faint aroma of hops. Tastes very worty - like it was straight from the brewpot! Very raw & fresh tasting, but likewise unrefined. Creamy body, ok carbonation. This needs a bit of aging, but is very promising.

Hazy amber color; creamy head. Delicate aroma, malty, fruity, sweet; quite nice. Powerful body, maybe even a bit too alcoholic, with malt flavor, enough sweetness, too simple on the yeast side. Low bitterness.

this is a delicious beer. batch 2 pours opaque copper color with a small yet thick head. aroma is slightly spicy and yeasty with lots of matly undertones. slightly sour flavor, lots of rich malts, maybe a little chocolate in the background. almost no hop presence at all. thick, full mouthfeel with moderate carbonation.

Batch 2 – 8.72% ABV. Compact bottle from Ølbutikken, Copenhagen. Attractive clear, dark amber body with a decent, off-white head. Aroma of spiced malts. Candy sweet in flavour, offset by dark fruits and spices. Dry yeast to the finish. Well bodied, though a little out of character (hotel room in Valby, 11.09.2008).

This beer was a hazy light amber color with some residual head. The aroma had figs, raisins, and some alcohol present, along with some typical Belgian characteristics. It’s a little thin on the palate and has quite a bit of carbonation. It finishes solid, but overall, did not live up to its billing.
