Elevation Beer Company Barrel Rack
What the brewers say
“Aged in a blend of Deerhammer rye, single malt, bourbon, and smoked corn whiskey barrels.”
What our panel thought
“Burnt orange and caramel with light fruity yeast esters on the nose, then a pleasant semisweet bitterness on the tongue. Notes of caramel and rich malt. Firm body, sweet dark caramel, bourbon-forward. No frills, workmanlike focus.”
What our editors thought
“Peach and noyaux bourbon nose, fruit-forward but precise. Oak and spritely peach tones with just a bit of sweetness play against a bitter line that’s more leather and char than hop-driven. Playful yet driven.”
