Team Lift is a blend of three oak-aged ales: Bourbon Barrel-aged stout, Hungarian Oak-Aged Belgian Dark strong ale, and a cognac Barrel-aged barleywine from White Elm Brewing Company. After blending, we conditioned it in Far North Distillery Rye Barrels. Thanks White Elm for the Team Lift assist.

Covert Artisan/White Elm collab Team Lift Old Ale, 12% ABV. Pours very dark brown with a one-finger beige head that left no lacing. This is a cuvée of a BBA Stout, a BA Belgian Dark Strong, and a Cognac BA English Barleywine, and lastly was conditioned in Rye Barrels. Needless to say, the aroma is pleasantly boozy, plus chocolate, rye spice, oak, and wine. Taste follows, slightly sweet, faintly bitter. Aroma and flavor are quite similar to Utopias and Dystopias, though less boozy. Excellent thick mouthfeel with light carbonation. Overall world-class. IMHO, they should have a cologne with this aroma.
