Continuance Blend #1 was blended over a 2-day blending session of pulling samples, enjoying bottles of For Gabe, and having fun blending “non-sour” beer in a way in which we had only enjoyed once before.
Our final blend consists of the recipes for:
- M.J.K. – a Barrel-Aged English Barleywine
- Anabasis – a Barrel-Aged American Barleywine
- Omega – a Barrel-Aged Stout brewed for Derivation and Beer : Barrel : Time blending
- Vibes – a Barrel-Aged Stout brewed for Derivation and Beer : Barrel : Time blending
- D5 – a Barrel-Aged Stout for Derivation blending
- … (ellipses) – a Barrel-Aged Stout for Derivation and Beer : Barrel : Time blending
The final ratio was:
- 45.3% Barrel-Aged Barleywine
- 54.7% Barrel-Aged Stout
As always, we blend to taste, blindly, so we are not influenced by anything other than our palates. These beers rested in their barrels of Willett 4 year Bourbon, Willett 8 year Bourbon, Buffalo Trace, BLiS Maple Bourbon and Rittenhouse Rye for 32 to 50 months.
