What Our Panel Thought

Aroma: “Notes of peat smoke, chocolate, bourbon, plum pudding, vanilla, and spice. There are faint tart notes, hints of grape and caramel, and definite soy sauce as it warms.”

Flavor: “Bourbon liqueur–filled chocolate. Lots of malt sweetness. Some nice dark-fruit notes like cherries and a bit of plum. The oak gives some earthiness, and this finishes with a nice warming sensation.”

Overall: “Sweet, potent, and smooth. Like drinking a bourbon liqueur–filled chocolate.”

What the Brewers Say

“This matured version of our Scotch-Style ale, Barrel-Aged Wee Heavy, is matured in premium bourbon barrels for up to one year to add layers of complexity to its rich, malty flavor profile.”
