A Note on This Beer
Fremont’s Bourbon Barrel-Aged Abominable Winter Ale is not just the brewery’s most famous beer - it was the first Washington brew to crack BeerAdvocate’s coveted Top 250.
Tapped from Fremont’s award-winning Barrel-Aging program and affectionately referred to by locals as “B-Bomb,” this 14% ABV powderkeg bursts with barrel-infused notes of black chocolate and spice, and commands resounding community praise:
BBomb is the Bomb! Totally changed my mind about winter ales. @OldGriz
This beer doesn't play fair. Just envelops your tongue with sweet chocolate and bourbon flavors that just pop in your mouth.@notchucknorris
Just have a little bitty glass once in awhile to remind you of optimism and the good things in life. @mactrail
Pouring like crude oil, B-Bomb’s hefty malt bill shotguns your palate with flavors of coffee, cocoa nibs, and molasses. Columbus, Willamette, and Golding Hops energize with a hearty spice bouquet and smoky, bitter cocoa. By blending both 12-month and 24-month Bourbon aged batches together, this beer incorporates an electrifying spectrum of barrel-aged depth.
Easily one of the brewery’s most desired and collectable beers, B-Bomb’s winter wonderland of Bourbon is so explosively delicious, you can enjoy it now or cellar for years to come. One warning: this extremely limited beer’s appearance on shelves is so elusive, it’s nearly as fantastical as its yeti namesake.
