Bourbon Barrel Cru

Aroma: “Caramel, bourbon, toffee with vanilla and oak behind that. Fairly low aroma overall.”

Flavor: “More caramel, toffee, vanilla, and oak. Dates, raisin, plum. Moderate sweetness into moderate bitterness with a fairly strong alcohol warmth. Some oak tannins in the finish as well. Finish is medium sweet, even with the alcohol to dry it out.”

Overall: “Pleasant, relatively strong flavored. Easy-drinking, but a bit one-dimensional.”

“This beer displays a rich mahogany hue with a medium body and brilliant clarity after months of barrel aging. Almond, toffee, and oaky vanilla give way to notes of dark cherries and raisins. Subtle hints of plum are greeted by caramel overtones for a smooth and warming finish.”
