Blogger:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Tiffany Adamowski Commercial Description:\u00a0<\/strong> The 2014 release of B-Bomb is aged in 12 & 15-year-old American Oak Whiskey barrels and is a blend of 24 & 12-month old barrel strength Abominable Ale. B-Bomb achieves distinct bourbon, oak, cacao, leather, and dark coffee notes from its extended barrel aging and barrel blending. Each barrel contributes a different note and combining each barrel to create a coherent tone is a distinct art and true pleasure. Please do enjoy this unique barrel-aged ale today, but know that B-Bomb will age gracefully for at least another 5 years. Don\u2019t be afraid to be Abominable.<\/p>\n 2012 Bronze Award, Wood & Barrel Aged Strong Beer, World Beer Cup<\/p><\/blockquote>\n There are those beers that are released once a year; those beers that you think about throughout the year, thinking \u201cI can\u2019t wait \u2018til it\u2019s in season!\u201d Fremont\u2019s Bourbon Barrel-Aged Abominable (nicknamed \u201cB-Bomb\u201d) is one of those beers. <\/p>\n About 99Bottles & 99Pours:<\/strong><\/p>\n I keep two blogs\u2014 One for folks who shop at my beer store, 99 Bottles, which features beers, events and other information that craft beer lovers may find useful, and 99 Pours, my personal blog of what it\u2019s like run a small business in the beer industry. If you want to see what beers I\u2019m drinking and my thoughts on them, the best place to follow me is on Untappd.\u00a0https:\/\/untappd.com\/user\/99bottles<\/a><\/p>\n About Fremont\u00a0Brewing Co: Fremont Brewing was born of our love for our home and history as well as the desire to prove that beer made with the finest local ingredients \u2013 organic when possible \u2013 is not the wave of the future but the doorway to beer’s history. Starting a brewery in the midst of the Great Recession is clearly an act of passion. We invite you to come along with us and enjoy that passion \u2026 Because Beer Matters.<\/p>\n Fremont Brewing is located in Seattle\u2019s Fremont neighborhood, which is industrial and sleekly postmodern \u2013 home to artists, fisherpeople, tradespeople, technology geeks, and lots of beer lovers. And, for those who don’t know, Washington State is home to the second largest hop growing region in the world.<\/p>\n Founder\/Owner Matt Lincecum is a long-time environmentalist, community organizer, and home brewer. But to make a living, he became an attorney and specialized in beverage and hospitality law. As fun as that sounds, Matt decided that instead of spending his time making other people\u2019s dreams of owning a bar or restaurant or brewery come true, he should realize his own latent and undisclosed-to-his-wife desire to start a microbrewery.<\/p>\n![\"tiffany\"](\"http:\/\/2beerguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/tiffany-225x300.jpg\")

\nLovingly referred to by locals as the B-BOMB, this bourbon barrel-aged edition of our winter ale has a warming spicy aroma and rich carmelly notes of bourbon, wood and vanilla added to dark roasty chocolaty malt flavors and subtle hopping.<\/p>\n![\"label_bbomb\"](\"http:\/\/2beerguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/label_bbomb.png\")
<\/a>Why I selected Fremont Bourbon Abominable:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m known to nurse my beers, taking my own sweet time, which makes B-Bomb a perfect beer for me; it\u2019ll take me nearly four hours to sip through this bomber.
\nB-Bomb is smooth, rich, and decadent. At 11%-ABV, it\u2019s a beer that warms you from lips to toes, while coating your mouth with flavors of dark and milk chocolates, vanilla, leather, and sticky sweet bourbon. The stickiness and the full flavors leave me constantly licking my lips and pleasuring my taste buds.
\nIt\u2019s so sticky that my glass starts sparkling clean, but by the end of the bottle, the glass is ridden with sticky lip and finger prints. B-Bomb is dessert in a glass.
\nThis year my first bottle was shared with the 99 Bottles\u2019s staff, but this second bottle I enjoyed almost entirely to myself\u2014 with little Bishop trying to edge in a time or two.<\/p>\n![\"bbomb-bishop\"](\"http:\/\/2beerguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/bbomb-bishop-254x300.jpg\")
