Our Mélange series is a playground for exploring flavors that cannot
be achieved outside of the art of the blend or by any one beer. We had a
particularly good time playing with nuts and BBLs in this winning blend
of barrel-aged beers from our 2016 staff blending competition. Fueled
by cheeseburgers and inspired by rocky road, we folded walnuts, cacao
nibs from TCHO and vanilla into rich, bourbon barrel-aged barleywine and
old ale to mimic the flavors of the rich, nutty dessert. Lactose was
added to impart a marshmallow character and an extra creamy mouthfeel.
We're pretty nuts about it, and we think you will be too.
