COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A barrel aged version of our Decadence 12 Abbey style Quadrupple. We acquired a 56 year old Brandy Barrel from our most excellent friend Brian at Gallo. This oaken beast is the primo da primo of barrels. Cuvee has been aged for 1 year in the barrel. Winner of the First Place Gold Medal 2008 California State Fair commercial craft brew competition and Bronze medal at the 2007 Bistro Barrel Festival.

Draft at the Bistro’s West Coast BA Fest, 11/10/07; My favorite of the festival along with the Moylans Wet Hopsickle; Nose of oak, maple, toffee, and light brandy; clear gold with a small off-white head; flavor has slight sweetness, brandy, light nectariney fruit, citrus, and caramel! Extremely excellent!
