Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Elevation Beer Company False
Summit Quadrupel Ale Aged In Bourbon Barrels. I picked up this bottle while in
Texas at Hall’s Wine & Spirits (here)
which is a must visit bottle shop if you find yourself in or around Dallas.
From the Elevation Beer Company website: “Aromas of
dark fruits, vanilla, and Bourbon seep off of False Summit from a milk
chocolate head. The palate hits with notes of plums, dark cherries,
bourbon, oak, and vanilla with a medium body to heavy body. False Summit
is a beer to drink while mapping out your next adventure and should help
motivate you to always keep moving to the top.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a clear dark brown with ruby accents, a thin off-white head and leaves a thin
film of lacing on the glass.
Aroma: Vanilla,
oak, caramel, bourbon, toffee, dark fruits, candi sugar and a slight bit of
chocolate.
Taste: Dark
fruits, bourbon, oak, vanilla, caramel, candi sugar and toffee.
Overall: Sweet
and assertive, Elevation Beer Company False Summit Quadrupel Ale Aged In
Bourbon Barrels is a nice barrel aged Quad.
This 11.73% ABV offering is something I will certainly pick up again – delicious!
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
