Our most anticipated Vintage Series release returns with a show-stopping blend of six barrel-aged beers, created with the help of local winemakers to produce a masterwork of flavor. In addition to iconic Anniversary Ale components such as Parabola, Bravo, Helldorado and Velvet Merkin, XXVI also incorporates newer elements such as Whiskey Barrel Wheat Wine and Heavy Things to attain its own distinct character. The result is an impossibly complex blend loaded with bourbon-accented flavors of milk chocolate, vanilla, coffee, and butterscotch.

Live rating this bad boy as we brainstorm 12oz bottle pours with a dark mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up malt sweetened dark roasted malts, an inviting level caramel and then marshmallow followed by a thin ribbon of vanilla. The taste delivers smooth fairly slick sweet malts, sweetened dark roasted malts and then a nice growing caramel candy like sweetness. It stays that way right into the finish as the modest booziness grows and levels off into the aftertaste. This does not taste like it will improve with cellaring age as it seem spot-on right now.
