A Note on This Beer

Anchorage Brewing’s limited dark releases are downright famous for kicking off a frenzy every time they appear! Blessed Stout vanished in just a few hours, while this year’s vintage of A Deal with the Devil sold out in a mere 15 minutes. 

Which seems totally bonkers, but that’s what happens when you craft delectable dark beer like Gabe Fletcher and his acclaimed brew crew. The hype around these boozebombs is extreme! 

So, listen up! Today’s your chance to snag The Sacrifice, a limited release that Anchorage may never brew again. 

Here are the luscious details: 

  • It’s a hugely thick ‘n silky Imperial Stout boasting a 15.5% ABV!
  • The brewers fermented and aged the brew for 6 months in Missouri Oak foeders to lock in flavorful complexity and allow the beer to mature slowly and steadily.
  • They finished the Stout on over 4,000 lbs of toasted and raw coconut.
  • It sips down almost like a Russian Imperial Stout rendition of a Mounds bar, wrapped in notes of woody spice and espresso!

 

The Sacrifice’s early tasters are calling it “crazy delicious!” Though, you don’t have to crack it open right away. Undertones of vanilla and molasses will emerge through mellowed, boozy heat if the brew ages in the bottle for several months longer. 

One look at Facebook is all it takes to see fans are jumping over each other to declare dibs on this darkly decadent work of art. But unless they're on Tavour, they're out of luck — it's already sold out at Anchorage's taproom!

Sip Magazine calls out Anchorage Brewing for crafting “some of the most coveted pours on the global craft scene!” Hop Culture declares them “one of the nation’s best breweries.”

It loses its head faster than a sugar-addled toddler and the lumps of coagulated oil on top could put London’s sewer fatbergs to shame, but you can forgive it all because to flavor is incredible and despite the viscosity and ABV, it’s so drinkable.

Okay, so to let you know, if you don’t like Dogfish WWS or Dark Lord, you won’t like this. This is like those beers with extra viscosity and some coconut. Base is heavy savory umami, oak and nuttiness from the foeder, booze, plus fresh coconut w/floaties

Rich and sweet with perfectly balanced flavors of chocolate and toasted coconut. Doesn’t drink like it’s over 15%. Tastes like dessert.

This is a good sweet stout. It has a good smooth body that’s not too light or heavy and a tasty rich and oakey chocolate and candied coconut flavor.

This is a very good beer with a great coconut taste. Unfortunately for its review I started tavour by having Ten Years which I gave a 5. This one comes close but not the 5 for ten years.

I may be one of the few, but I associated the taste and smell of this beer to soy sauce. I had three friends with me when I cracked this one open and we all gagged at the smell and I was a little let down.

Insane! This is like having a nice, buttery, coconutty macaroon mashed down into a motor oil-thick stout base. Easily one of the best of the year for me.

375ml bottle from Tavour. Expensive, but worth it. Black pour, thick, tiny ring of brown head. Roasty aroma, chocolate, light coconut, booze. Sweet, syrupy taste, fudge, booze, trace if coconut. Velvety, full. Succulent. Awesome!

This had almost no carbonation, any head disappeared almost as quickly as it touched the glass. I liked the flavors but hard to appreciate when it’s flat. A lot of chunky particulate in this one. I was expecting more from my first Anchorage experience, maybe my second bottle will be better. First one, meh! Edit....second one same as the first. This stout and others I have had from Anchorage are trash!

Rich and sweet imperial stout with a syrupy molasses-esque mouthfeel and an abundance of coconut and mellow oak with slight cocoa/coffee-like bitterness with fleeting hints of vanilla and cinnamon; lots of floaties.
