Resolution #9

Barrel-aged sour brown ale

Brewed in 2007 with a substantial malt bill of American and Belgian pale, caramel, and roasted malt with Belgian dark candi syrup, Hallertauer hops, and just a touch of coriander, orange peel, and ginger.

Four years of fermentation in Madeira barrels with a broad variety of microflora has created a sour but smooth beer of incredible complexity.

Dark brown and capped by a tawny head of foam, aromas of raisins, sharp acidity, and obscure Asian spices carry through into the palate.  Accented by notes of sweet caramel, toasted pecans, and warming alcohol, it finishes completely dry. Its acidic character is dominant but smooth and well-integrated with hints of mocha, roasted malt and very subtle oak.

Only 110 gallons of this beer were produced, so we expect this special beer to go quickly!

 

OG: 1.075   FG: 1.008   ABV: 8.8%

Testimonials

  • As a budding beer snob, their beers are to die for. I like the dark ones, and everything I've ever had here has left me quite pleased. You really can't go wrong, no matter what you order.

    Calvin F., Cambridge, MA

  • Fantastic beer! Great beer events, parties, and dinners! Creative, friendly, and warm. Delicious food! I am also impressed they make an effort to serve grain-fed beef and local ingredients. Plus, they send their grains to local farms I believe. So cool.

    Mike H., Jamaica Plain, MA

  • My favorite bar in the Boston area and one of the best breweries in New England...
    ...Any serious beer geek needs to pay this place a visit as its the only great brewpub in Boston.

    Josh E., Cambridge, MA

  • We may not have the plethora of brewpubs in our city like the Midwest, but who needs more when you've got Cambridge Brewing Company! These guys rock!
