A Note on This Beer

*Thanks for being a top supporter of the craft beer community! We’re giving you first dibs on this elite treasure from Anchorage. Ready to get in on the action? Limited to 1 bottle per member!*

It’s the day you’ve all been waiting for: Anchorage Brewing’s highly anticipated A Deal With The Devil Double Oaked Vanilla Bean is finally here!

If you know anything about the previous ADWTD Barleywines, you probably put a bottle in your crate as soon as you opened the app. 

Which is smart! This new 2021 vintage is even more small-batch than the last, with a mere 133 cases produced. Apart from a tiny, locals-only taproom release — and the few wax-dipped bottles Anchorage stowed away in the brewery cellar — the entire batch is right here on Tavour!

Gabe Fletcher and his team aged this latest edition of ADWTD for 7 months in top-shelf Woodford Reserve Double Oaked barrels, then transferred it to Elijah Craig bourbon barrels for an additional 6 months. Finally, they finished it on Madagascar vanilla beans. 

The result is a sinfully smooth and silky elixir that tastes of caramel-drizzled crème brûlée with complex layers of oaky, bourbon toffee. A steady stream of vanilla sweetness keeps things glib and comforting, all while that blush-inducing 17% ABV slowly creeps in.

We won’t tell you how to enjoy this rare treat, and we won’t tell you when to enjoy it, either. All we’ll say is — if you’re lucky enough to score a bottle, you’re in for something truly special. 

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

i’m only giving it a sub-5 because it was a bit too much vanilla and not enough of that classic BIL flavor but the fact i even got to try this is crazy

375 bottle at share. wow! This is really a gem. Luscious from start to finish. Dark, oily pour, ring of beige head. Sweet, boozy aroma. Rich dark, malty flavors, heady bourbon flavors, topped off with some sweet vanilla. This was truly excellent.

Smoothest 17% ever. The vanilla hides most of the heat. The vanilla bean is balanced nicely where it isn't overpowering. Nice mouthfeel almost more like a stout than a BW.

Wow wow wow. I rarely rate things 5. This is a rare gem; smooth nose, rich oaky undertone, with a nice bittersweet chocolate bite. The vanilla comes in and just smooths it all over. I enjoyed every sip. Pricey? Yes. Worth it? Hell yes.

Excellent barleywine! The vanilla is evident briefly until the barrel character squashes it with authority!
