One of the most exciting parts of creating a barrel cellar as expansive as ours is the opportunity to blend flavor components together, creating something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Mélange #12 is a uniquely debonair blend of some of our favorite strong ales that have been allowed to age gently in bourbon barrels for an average of nearly 22 months. Once these barrels were carefully selected to blend, we chose to enhance the beer and barrel flavors with three of our favorite ingredients: cacao nibs, vanilla beans and hazelnuts. The result is one of our most lavish beers to date.
