Sierra Nevada Barrel Aged Vision of Sug Plums

TASTING NOTES

A Belgian-inspired blend of Dubbel, Quad, and a splash of Bigfoot Barleywine-Style Ale, aged in spent red wine, brandy and bourbon casks, this showcase of barrel character and malt depth deserves more fridge space than pudding. A late addition of plums accents the fruity esters, while rich flavours of caramel, toasted sugar and dark fruit precede a lasting delicious finish.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Sierra Nevada set out with a simple goal: brew the beers they wanted to drink. They started small, with a homebrew shop, a love of American hops and plenty of passion. In the process, they changed the beer world forever. Decades later, they’re still at it, and the passion burns brighter than ever.

DID YOU KNOW?

A new method Sierra Nevada created to add hop aroma to beer, the “Hop Torpedo” is a stainless steel device packed with whole-cone hops. Fermenting beer is circulated out of a fermenter, through the column of whole-cone hops, and back into the fermentation tank. This new method has revolutionized how they dry hop their beers, adding intense hop flavor and aroma with no additional bitterness.
