About this beer
This is the 71st of 151 labels we have from The Bruery. It is one of 147 barrel-aged stout labels approved in October 2019. Its label was approved 14 days after it was submitted. The label carries barrel-aged on the front.
From the label“A curious fusion of tart Flemish-style red ale and rich imperial stout, Mélange #1 is testament to the staying power of artful blending. Hints of signed oak, leather, and fruit-forward tannins punctuate a sour profile while notes of dark fruits and vanilla imparted by bourbon barrel-aging deliver a perfectly melded, full-bodied finish.”
