Hat Trick is a blend of Parabola (Imperial Stout aged in bourbon barrels) and SLOambic (Sour Opal fermented with Ollie berries, aged in American Oak barrels). This is a beer of contrasts! The aroma of bourbon, vanilla, coconut, tobacco and leather, jockey with tart berry notes. Flavors of malt, coffee, bittersweet chocolate, mingle with berries, tart acidity, a firm malt body, then punctuated by bitterness. The flavors and aroma linger on the palate for some time. This is a full-bodied blend of both our spirit barrel and wild beer barrel programs.

Black beer with a brown lacing. Aroma is definitely a blend, I smell the strong ale and the sour beer. It actually smells like a sour port wine, which may be the point. Roasted, cocoa, and unfortunately a bit too much acetic sour vinegar. Has a thinned out aroma. Flavor is green apple sour stronger then comes the roasted strong ale. Its like a charred green apple with a long tart finish. I’m glad its only 6oz.
