Beer Description

An extremely complex brew that showcases rich flavors of caramel, molasses, toffee, vanilla, and dried fruit. Bourbon barrels add lovely accents of vanilla, toasted oak, and dark caramel.

Originally one of Peter Zien’s homebrew recipes, Private Stock Ale has become AleSmith’s most award-winning beer. Each year we reserve a small amount of this once-a-year offering to age in select bourbon barrels. The result is an extremely complex brew that showcases rich flavors of caramel, molasses, toffee, vanilla, and dried fruit. Our critically acclaimed Private Stock Ale is hardy and complex all on its own. But after lengthy hibernation in wood barrels which formerly housed bourbon whiskey, lovely accents of vanilla, toasted oak, and dark caramel meld together making this standout beer all the more extraordinary.
