COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Fergus Mor: the legendary king of Dal Riata was the founder of Scotland according to Medieval and Renaissance myth. Rulers of Scotland throughout its history have claimed descent from Fergus Mor. A fitting name for this, the first beer in the Campeador series, a barrel aged collaboration of Cigar City Brewing and Knightly Spirits. Fergus Mor is a blend of Big Sound Scotch Ale and Bolita Brown Ale, topped off with a wee bit of Imperial Stout and aged in a Buffalo Trace bourbon barrel. Limited release of 204 - 750ml bottles.

fiulijn (10383) - Como, ITALY - APR 6, 2011
Tasting at Papsø
Dark mahogany color; small creamy head. Nice combination of caramel aroma and vanilla oak, whiskey, wood, light smoke; dynamic. The body is well structured; strong caramel flavor, quite sweet, with a very pleasant whiskey-Bourbon-vanilla component, and chocolate in the end; the whiskey also leaves an evident alcohol trace. Correct bitterness, the final has A bit alcoholic, but very good.
