Fall Brewing Jinx Remover Barrel Aged
Fall Brewing Jinx Remover Barrel Aged is the rare barrel-aged lager done right — 8.2% ABV, 12oz, an imperial black lager rested in bourbon barrels. The base beer is dark, sweet, rich and crisp; months in bourbon oak add vanilla, caramel and a whisper of whiskey warmth without dulling the lager's clean drinkability. It took gold at the 2016 World Beer Cup. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

A Black Lager With a Bourbon Soul
Barrel-aging usually belongs to stouts — Fall Brewing proved lagers deserve it too. Jinx Remover pours deep brown with a creamy head, delivering charred malt, chocolate and caramel lifted by subtle bourbon and oak, all on a surprisingly crisp lager body. It is big and bold yet still quaffable. Pair it with more San Diego craft beer at Del Mesa Liquor, or follow the rest of the Fall Brewing lineup.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Charred malt, chocolate, caramel, earthy barrel and bourbon, hint of coffee. Palate: Sweet malt and chocolate up front, light bourbon-barrel notes mid-palate. Finish: Creamy, gently sweet, with lingering malt.
How to Enjoy
Pour into a snifter at cellar temperature to let the barrel character open. A natural match for smoked meats, mole, or a quiet nightcap.
