Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is The Lost Abbey Deliverance Ale.
These days I’ll buy anything made by The Lost Abbey and it now seems
that at nearly any price (this bottle was not inexpensive).
From The Lost Abbey website:
“A blend of bourbon barrel-aged Serpent’s Stout and brandy barrel-aged Angels
Share, Deliverance is the epic battle being waged between heaven and hell for
the souls of mortal men… and your enjoyment in a glass.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
extremely dark brown, nearly black with the tiniest mocha colored head and
sticky lacing.
Aroma: Bourbon,
brandy, dark fruits, molasses, vanilla, caramel, chocolate and licorice.
Amazing nose and sweet smelling!
Taste: Boozy
bourbon and brandy followed by chocolate, vanilla, roasted malts, caramel,
brown sugar, oak and dark fruits (raisin, fig and cherry).
Overall:
Certainly a sipper, The Lost Abbey Deliverance Ale is huge and at 12.5% ABV a
beer to be respectfully consumed. This
thick and rich offering is something I’d like to drink again and again. This
beer is exceptional!
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
