Commercial Description:
This is a truly unique brew, combining some unusual elements to create a powerful, yet flavorful brew. I brewed a similar beer to this one back in 1998, while I was home brewing out in California. Only this time around I decided to age it in bourbon barrels to add a new element to the already rich sensory profile. The combination of dark malt, elderberries and bourbon barrels makes for an interesting tasting experience. This is a sippin’ beer, so sit back by the fire and enjoy.

Thanks to Aaron for this one. Batch 2. Black body with a frothy bubbly head. Aroma is spicy, salty toffee, chocolate, and slight metallic. Flavor is sweet, buttery, chocolate, toffee, caramel, spice. Dry finish. Quite nice.

Batch 1. Deep mahogany color with a full foam. Beautiful aromatics of caramel, toffee, oak, vanilla and bourbon. In the mouth it’s loaded with malty goodness, chocolate, coffee, fruit, caramel with an intriguing barrel character as well. Very complex and well crafted. This is easily my favorite beer from Captain Lawrence.

bottle. Batch 1. This is one stronnnng beer. Very strong alcohol flavor. No elderberry noted here, just a ton of oak and bourbon. I like this beer, but 750ml’s of it may be too much.

750ml bottle courtesy of eaglefan538. 10/07. Sweet molasas and bourbon alcohol aroma. Black body with tan head and head hand the rice kripees snap krale pop going on. Flavor was very alcoholic with bourbon giving the body a warming effect. Sweet molasas licorice and a dry coco flavor mixed together made this a very complexing brew. Wow another good brew by CL.
