Anchorage — Deal With the Devil triple – 19

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

The nose opens with profound bourbon-soaked dark fruit—figs, dates, and prunes—layered with toffee, vanilla bean, and toasted oak. Caramelized brown sugar mingles with subtle leather and warming alcohol that never dominates. On the palate, viscous and luxurious, waves of burnt caramel, dark chocolate, and dried cherry unfold against a backdrop of oak tannins and bourbon sweetness. The texture is almost port-like in its richness. The finish stretches endlessly, with lingering notes of molasses, charred oak, and a gentle warming that speaks to its considerable strength and extended barrel maturation.

Food Pairing

Pair with a wedge of aged Gouda or Parmigiano-Reggiano, where the beer’s sweetness complements crystallized protein notes and nutty complexity. Alternatively, serve alongside a rich chocolate torte with salted caramel—the beer’s bourbon character and fig notes harmonize beautifully with dark chocolate while cutting through decadent sweetness.

About Anchorage Brewing Company

Anchorage Brewing Company was founded in 2010 in Anchorage, Alaska, by Gabe Fletcher, a brewer whose vision centered on creating innovative, barrel-aged beers that push the boundaries of traditional brewing. The brewery has earned recognition for its meticulous approach to wild and sour ales, often incorporating extended aging in oak barrels with complex blends of wild yeast strains and bacteria. Fletcher’s background includes experience at respected brewing institutions, and this expertise is evident in Anchorage’s commitment to patience and precision in the brewing process.

What distinguishes Anchorage Brewing is their dedication to small-batch production and an uncompromising focus on quality over quantity. The brewery specializes in Belgian-inspired styles, particularly saisons and strong ales, which undergo lengthy barrel aging periods that can extend for months or even years. Their beers frequently feature fruit additions and experimental techniques that reflect both European brewing traditions and a distinctly American craft sensibility. Anchorage has garnered numerous accolades within the craft beer community, establishing itself as one of the premier producers of barrel-aged and mixed-fermentation beers in the United States. The brewery’s limited production volumes and exceptional quality have made their releases highly sought after by enthusiasts.
