🌍 United States · Barrel-Aged Dark Ale · One of 1 Barrel-Aged Dark Ales in hopIQ

Sadie is a bourbon barrel-aged dark ale from Beachwood Brewing, the celebrated Long Beach, California craft institution. It pours a deep mahogany-black with a tan, softly settling head. The aroma is richly Southern in character — waves of vanilla, toasted oak, and dark caramel mingle with hints of dried fruit and gentle cocoa. At 12% ABV, the palate is full-bodied and warming, delivering layers of toffee, dark chocolate, and bourbon-soaked cherries with an underlying roasted malt backbone. The oak integration is seamless rather than aggressive, lending structure and sophistication. The finish is long and satisfying — warm, slightly sweet, with lingering vanilla and a whisper of char that invites the next sip.
