Firestone Walker Sucaba '14
Confoundingly unpronounceable yet eminently drinkable—welcome to §ucaba, an epic barrel-aged English barley wine whose original name was undone by a two-bit legal challenge. Big, boozy bourbon and American oak aromas combine with soft chocolate malty undertones. Complex malt flavors are framed in oak with hints of dark chocolate, vanilla, tobacco, coconut and just a touch of dark cherry. §ucaba is built to last and can age for years to come (we recommend counting the years with an abacus).
More on Sucaba
Sucaba was one of the first components created as part of our annual barrel-aged Anniversary Ale blend starting in 2006. Sucaba has ever since remained as part of our Proprietor’s Vintage family of barrel-aged beers, but sightings of it have been relatively rare in recent years—until now.
Sucaba is a barrel-aged English barleywine that remains confoundingly unpronounceable yet eminently drinkable. Longtime fans know Sucaba by its original name, which was undone by a two-bit legal challenge. It has been many years since we reversed course and changed the name to Sucaba, but who’s counting?
