Tasting Profile

4.5Untappd

Peach Apricot D.B.V.S.O.J. pours a deep amber-mahogany with garnet hues and a thin, evanescent off-white head that settles quickly, leaving faint wisps of lacing on the glass. The nose is an immediate cascade of layered stone fruit — sun-ripened peach, fresh apricot, and soft plum — underscored by malty caramel and a signature smoky, oaken vanilla derived from the medium-slow fire-toasted French oak staves. On the palate, the mouthfeel is full and warming, with a generous 13.3% ABV presence that never feels brash. Sweetness opens with brown sugar and toffee before yielding to the complex interplay of bourbon, rum, and peach brandy barrel signatures.

Apricot jam, ripe peach skin, oaky spice, and a touch of prune emerge mid-palate, complemented by malt-forward caramel depth. The finish is long, dry, and faintly tannic — the fire-toasted French oak lending a final whisper of smoky vanilla and gentle bitterness. As a limited-edition extension of Revolution’s acclaimed Peach Brandy Barrel D.B.V.S.O.J., built from the last fourteen barrels of that release, this beer rewards patience in the glass and has excellent aging potential for adventurous cellaring. A rarefied expression of American barrel-aged barleywine craft.
