Emersons Brewers Reserve Over A Barrel

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
For a change, we have decided to showcase a barrel aged beer on tap. This is a London Porter that has been aged for 12 months in the same Bourbon casks that produced the sensational Emerson’s Bourbon Porter. The barrels for this batch had been cleaned and given a generous soaking with Heaven Hill Bourbon for several weeks. Of course the bourbon was taken out prior to filling the cask, but we were not too mean… Unlike the heavenly bottled product at 9.2% abv, the alcohol level is not as strong. We feel the re-soaking of the barrels doesn’t quite have same effect. Aha, a lovely subtle hint of Bourbon and oak on the nose, following through with a creamy mouth filling chocolate, roasted malt and bourbon oak flavours finishing with a subtle tartness that will inspire you to reach for another taste. So you may be in want of another pint after the first, but just keep in mind the alcohol content of 7% abv…
