Bottleworks XI (11th) Anniversary Ale Big Sky Brewing Company Missoula, Montana
Beer style: Strong Ale - American Ref: ratebeer.com May2024
Common descriptors are Big Sky’s brewers brewed the threads of the 11th Anniversary Ale; Bottleworks’ own Matt VandenBerghe, Matt Bonney, and Shaughn O’Keefe oversaw the blending. The XI comprises mostly Ivan the Terrible aged in port, bourbon, and rye whiskey barrels with a few other touches like a Belgian dark strong ale added for balance and complexity. Expect a very rich stout with equal parts fruit and wood. |
