Full-bodied, Subtle, Lively, Rich, Intense, AgedDescription
Garage Project's Bastard Rye Bourbon Barrel Aged is a captivating Belgian Strong Golden Ale that pushes the boundaries of what beer can be. Brewed with a substantial amount of rye, this imperial-strength ale undergoes a meticulous three-year aging process in freshly emptied American bourbon barrels. The result is a velvety-smooth elixir that boasts the heat and vanilla-wood depth of a fine spirit. With a remarkably low carbonation level, this brew is best savored unchilled, allowing the complex flavors to unfold on the palate. Clocking in at a robust 13.75% ABV, the Bastard Rye is not for the faint of heart. Its unique and utterly complex character is a testament to the brewer's skill and dedication.
