About this beer

Defcon 1 is a 15% ABV Belgian-Style Quadrupel Ale from Hoppy People, aged in bourbon barrels. This product of Switzerland, imported by Winter Dog Cellars, boasts a substantial 5.28 US Gal. batch size and a “best before” date of January 12, 2030. The label declares it “beers for the hoppy generation,” pointing to—and being encircled by—a stylized hop cone design. Beyond the bourbon barrel aging, the beer's ingredients are not detailed on the label, but it's brewed and packaged by Hoppy People SA Rues des Sablons 11 3960 Sierra Switzerland.

The high alcohol content hints at a rich and complex flavor profile, likely showcasing dark fruit esters, warming alcohol notes, and the character imparted from the bourbon barrel such as vanilla and oak. A government warning is prominently displayed alongside a dedication to the Surgeon General regarding responsible consumption.
