Do not mistake this for a $300 Budweiser… This is the most exclusive production beer in the world and it is not anything you would expect or imagine.  It is an incredibly rich and complex fermented beverage on par with an old cask-aged Port or Madeira.  This is a drink to be savored with a fine strong cheese or a delicate desert, not something to be gulped down with hot dogs or a hamburger!

Samuel Adams blends this beer from multiple cask-aged barley wines aged up to 22 years in Whisky, Bourbon, Madeira and Cognac barrels.  A limited release of 10-15,000 individually numbered bottles is made only every 2 or 3 years so it is very rare and difficult to find.   Contrary to gimmicky German and English “high gravity beers” made by adding distilled spirits to regular beer, this is a “real beer”, neither distilled nor spiked with extra alcohol. This beer is naturally fermented to an incredible 28-29% ABV through an extremely complex process designed to keep the yeast alive in the high alcohol environment.  Because of its high alcohol content, it can be stored for decades without losing any of its qualities.  It is not carbonated, very dark and smooth, somewhat sweet (although not quite as sweet as a Port or Madeira) with strong notes of vanilla and maple.  It is presented in a ceramic decanter designed to look like a copper brew kettle. Enjoy at room temperature in a cognac or single malt glass.  This is a beer that every cognac aficionado should try.
