Commercial Description:
This is the old tried and true Blind Date Ale of old. It is based on an English Olde Ale but has an addition of 300 pounds of Arizona grown Medjool dates. The dates contribute a complexity and sweetness that the malt alone cannot. This Blind Date has been aged for three months in Jim Beam oak bourbon barrels. The oak and bourbon lend flavors of vanilla, wood, and of course, bourbon. These flavors layered with the dates created a big, multi-leveled ale. The alcohol content is about 7.5% alc/vol. You'll have to get to Four Peaks quick since we only have a few kegs of this unique beer.

I think Medjool dates should stay out of this one. The Blind Date Ale is just like a Blind Date, you get it and have high expectations, then she shows her ugly mug and leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

EXCELLENT!! This beer blew my socks off. The bourbon is accentuated by vanilla and dates. It has a very beautiful finish and forward flavor. It has the perfect balance that you would expect for an English Olde Ale. I would consider this one of the best beers I have tasted! Run to Arizona to try.
