Austin’s Adelbert’s Brewery , an establishment known for its expertise in Belgian- style beer, is set to release Barrel of Love, a whiskey barrel aged quadrupel, in January 2016. This new beer is part of Adelbert’s Vintage Series and, not surprisingly, will be promoted as a seasonal release to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Barrel of Love will be released in both kegs and bottles and is scheduled to hit the market on New Year’s Day, January 1, 2016.
Barrel of Love 2015 is a complex beer certain to satisfy beer aficianados and their significant others. Adelbert’s brews this 11 percent quadrupel using dark Belgian candy syrup and Trappist yeast then ages the brew in Treaty Oak Distillery’s whiskey barrels. Tasting notes include complex fruity notes of figs, raisins and plums. The Belgian style ale pairs well with aged Gouda, roasted duck, pork, and bread pudding. And, of course, it goes very well with a Valentine’s Day dinner and an evening of romance.
Adelbert’s Brewmaster and founder Scott Hovey is s huge fan of bourbon chocolate stouts and decided to make some of his own.
“We’ve released Barrel of Love in the past, but this year’s is a different, special release for Valentine’s Day,” Hovey said. “Each year the style of Barrel of Love will shift, but it will always be aged in a barrel.”
Expect to see Barrel of Love in places where Adelbert’s beer is presently sold. For more information about Barrel of Love, the Vintage Series, or Adelbert’s brewery in general, visit AdelbertsBeer.com.
