A Note on This Beer
Mark Twain once said, “Truth is stranger than fiction, because fiction has to be possible and truth doesn’t.”
Like today’s impossibly delicious, 4.30 Tavour-rated BA Strong Ale. It’s brimming with so much coffee and coconut opulence, you’d think it’s a fantasy. But nope, this beauty is real — and it’s one of BeerAdvocate’s Top 15 American Strong Ales!
No surprise there, considering the crew at Bottle Logic are like the Mark Twains of barrel aging. For this great American classic, they started with a rich, malty base before letting it slumber in a blend of bourbon barrels. Then they finished it on coconut and two roasts from Stereoscope Coffee: Colombia El Paraiso - Red Plum and El Tambo Espresso Blend.
Currents of caramelly coconut course through every thick, silky quaff. Deep nuances of vanilla oak and dried fruit follow with cocoa-tinged java on the backend. All that dessert-like decadence completely hides the 13% ABV.
Will the reality of this treat exceed the fictional flavors you’re tasting in your head? Only one way to find out!

The Brewery:
Bottle Logic has been an absolute POWERHOUSE on the California craft-scene since 2013. Before running their super-successful Anaheim brewery, the three founders started their careers with a mutual love of homebrewing. Now, the crafty crew creates beers of all styles, including marshmallow-filled BA Stouts, and fruity, Imperial Blonde Ales. Their beers are fun, unique, and experimental, with carefully selected adjuncts so that every flavor flows seamlessly.
