Year of New Beer: Callipygian, Avery Brewing (CO)

Written By: Dion on 09/20/2016

Sweet, slightly minty vanilla sinks into impossibly rich cocoa and coffee, all intertwined with a powerful bourbon-soaked oak. On the tongue, a bourbon heat asserts itself, relegating a bitter chocolate and espresso note to the background, where they are joined by traces of vanilla, dark fruit, oak, and earthy hops. This starts slowly, but packs a punch on the rear-end. Appropriate. And delicious.
