This Double Barrel-aged Double Nut Brown Ale is brewed in honor of the popular Bolita games played in Ybor City in our hometown of Tampa, FL. Bolita means “little ball”, but the profits from the often rigged games were anything but little. A player would pick a number and hope that his bolita came up, while the game operator would employ a variety of tricks to ensure that it did not. There are no tricks in this brew though, just a high gravity brown ale redolent with caramel and toffee like malts and a long nutty finish. We’ve aged this Cigar City classic in both Spanish brandy and bourbon barrels, adding a remarkable depth of character and flavor boasting notes of raisins, molasses and a pronounced bourbon-like spiciness.

Opened the 750ml at noon during the pandemic 2020. Pours murky dark brown with no head. The aroma offers up brown sugar fueled malts and then a bourbon nuanced brandy booziness. The taste delivers similar notes with slick sweet thick maltiness and brown sugar. It quickly flows into soft supple sweet bourbon and a simmering cherry and date reduction sauce with an edge of boozy brandy. Solid noon time sipper.

Pours coffee brown with a nice beige head. Ara delivers bourbon-soaked wood, roast malt and chocolate tones. Flavor offers sweet chocoate, bourbon, woody and roast malty tones. Mouthfeel features viscous body and lively fizz. Double your beer, double your fun!
