Aroma: Wood, Honey Smacks, strong bourbon, medium roasted coffee. Weaving in and out of any of these glorious aromas is alcohol.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Taste: Coffee, booze soaked barrel, dark roasted malt, burnt roasted malt. Finishes heavy on the bourbon.
Mouthfeel: Astringent, low carbonation, and very thick.
Overall: A world class Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout. This is one of the more bourbon forward barrel aged beers I’ve had in a while, lots of wood and spirts to combat the huge malt and coffee profile. I spent over an hour trying to put my finger on all that is going on with this beer.
