Divine bourbon-barreled strong ale absolutely delights the senses with its chewy mocha-enriched dried fruiting drenching whiskey-toned bourbon affluence above oaken vanilla resonance. Creamy brown chocolate-sweetened dark caramel malting emphatically enriches fig-sugared raisin, plum, black grape and bruised cherry ripeness. Rum-spiced brandy, sherry, port and burgundy undertones nip at the syrupy maple-sapped molasses bottom. Tertiary pecan, coconut and cola illusions add even more luster. Another world-class Lost Abbey ‘malt beverage.’  

Highly expressive triple-hopped Belgian IPA aged in Chardonnay barrels improves upon winning original recipe by increasing fruitful bliss with boozy white-wined banter. Floral-tinged lemon peel, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, nectar and cherry illusions receive gin-soaked Chardonnay buttering and sweet banana dacquiri swirl above earthy white-peppered basil-thyme herbage. Dry oak tannins soften citric-spiced hop bittering. Syrupy honey-combed caramel sugaring completes the score.

Subtle oak aging slightly chars resinous piney hop astringency contrasting sugared pink grapefruit tang and toasted caramel malt creaming. Light lemony orange snip sharpened by ascending juniper berry bittering. Minor vegetal spell in deep recess.

Sublime 16th anniversary bourbon-barreled celebrator combines maple-smoked molasses sapping and dark-roasted chocolate malting with dark-fruited brandy wining. Sweet whiskey tone drapes ancillary coconut-toasted almond, pecan, vanilla and toffee illusions as well as black cherry, blackberry, raisin and prune snips. Gooey anise aftertaste picks up medicinal cough syrup astringency.

Exquisite bourbon-barreled nightcap, part of limited edition Winter Migration Series, saddles velvety whiskey sweetness with sweet vanilla creaminess and molasses-sapped dark chocolate malting.  Silken smooth dry bourbon midst gains prominence ahead of chocolate-covered black cherry uprising, dark-fruited raisin-plum conflux and syrupy Kahlua influence. Ashen wood-charred campfire astringency never undermines dominant sweet side.

Fruitful brown-bodied sour ale oak-aged in Syrah, Cabernet, Red Zinfandel and Merlot barrels. Wildflower-honeyed candi sugaring sweetens dried fig-date-prune-blackberry-raspberry tartness. Vinous black-red-white grape tannins and bubbly Brut Champagne buttering add to noir-ish wine feel. Wispy charcoal burn blackens tertiary lemon-juiced maple syruping.

Bold 2013 version of Old Guardian saturates coarsely hop-charred campfire setting with oak-smoked wheat malting – contrasting creamy chocolate-browned burnt caramel sweetness. Leather-backed pine resin seeps into mocha-laden toffee-vanilla midst, ancillary dark fruited drift and tertiary honey nut tinge. Peated Scotch nuances waver.
