XV
Sugar Creek Brewing Company

Sugar Creek XV is a masterpiece of brewing ingenuity; a beer that was meticulously designed and engineered to deliver the most flavor and ABV allowed by law. We aged XV for over a year in American Oak Tennessee Sorghum Whiskey barrels, which created a monster beer of 15% ABV with 342 IBUs that finishes smooth and rich without a hint of bitterness. XV is brewed with three distinct Belgian malts and four varieties of American hops, producing flavors of oak, warming alcohol and whiskey balanced by a lush caramel and dark fruit sweetness. The extended barrel aging process contributes complexity to the brew while rounding the edges with delightfully subtle flavors of raisin, plum, candied apple and fresh biscuits. To successfully sustain the fermentation process for such a high gravity beer, a precise blending of fresh wort and three different yeast strains was infused with the fermenting beer at intervals around the clock for the first 14 days of production. In ingredients alone, the cost to produce this beer is an astounding $1,000/barrel, an amount more than 10 times that of our standard offerings! We can only afford to bring this labor of love to you in small quantities, once per year.
