About this release

A blend of English Barleywines that matured for 18-24 months in various premium bourbon barrels, before being finished in freshly emptied Eagle Rare barrels. A slightly enhanced malt structure provides just enough sweet lift on the palate to carry the extra wood and spirit, without stealing the show. This ambitious beer from Revolution Brewing in Chicago showcases the expertise of this American brewery in creating complex, aged ales. The Double Barrel Straight Jacket is a masterpiece of patience and craft, with the beer developing its character over nearly two years in French oak. The successive maturation in Eagle Rare barrels adds an extra dimension to the profile, with the wood and bourbon characteristics seamlessly integrated into the whole. With an alcohol content of 16.5 percent, this is a full, velvety imperial ale that demands respect and appreciation. The balance between the malt and wood aging makes this beer particularly suited for those who enjoy traditional English styles with American ambition. An excellent choice for collectors and connoisseurs seeking something truly special.
