100 BEST ’16: IMPERIAL SWEET POTATO FARMHOUSE ALE at BIG ALICE BREWING COMPANY

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016…

For Thanksgiving dessert, I popped open a bottle of Big Alice’s ambitious beer that is aged in used gin barrels. Granted this was a lot drier and more savory than I imagined with layers of sweetness and bold balanced acidity. Probably not the best beer to pair with dessert but when the beer is this good, I almost decided to forgo dessert and just drink this.
