Barrel Aged Desecration - Imperial Red Ale



On tap today August 31st at 4:00 PM we have Barrel Aged Desecration Imperial red Ale.

It's everything you've heard about Desecration, but as ballsy as it was it's even bigger now. Oak, vanilla, hops and caramel standout up front with a big boozy depth and complexity finishing with a long lingering draw. Aged in a Glenora single malt whiskey barrel for several weeks then conditioned in one of our serving vessels for another few weeks allowing the flavours mature. Totally worth the wait! 9.8% ABV

Enjoy!

Our new Imp. R.A. is big, chewy, complex and satisfying with some serious malt balls balanced with copious quantities of C-hops in the classic West Coast tradition. Big delicious complexity.
