OFallon Whiskey Barrel Smoked Porter

Pour is a black with no head at all. Aroma is more on the bourbon side with a little vanilla in there. Flavor is less smoky and meaty than the original smoke porter but a nice helping of the bourbon takes its place. In fact one knock on the beer is that its pretty one dimentional as the bourbon takes over everything. Not a bad thing as im fond of a nice bourbon but those that are not would not like this. Ofallon should probably amp up the alcohol for a barrel aged beer.

Black colour with a tan head. Vague roasted aroma with a quite sweet vanilla note and hints of smoke. Malty, light fruity flavor with vanilla sweet notes. Light whiskey note in the finish.

bottle. it has a black color with a small head. the aroma is smokey. the taste is also smokey. the smoke is roasty. bit buttery.

Bottle thanks to theisti sampled on 9/15/07: Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany with a nicely-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of rich, sweet smoky dark caramel malt and a subtle hint of oaky whiskey. Starts sweet and dark caramely with good smoky bitterness and mild whiskey complexity. Nicely-balanced, interesting and enjoyable.

An amazing delicious concoction that reminded me little of the non-barrel version I consumed a few days earlier. The smoked porter definately takes a backseat to the bourbon whiskey and malt and some kind of full mouthfeel yeasty reaction that was a delight with a good fish and meat dinner.

Sample provided by BBB63. Dark brown with no head. The nose is boozy with cheap whiskey, vanilla and molasses. Flavor is chocolate, brown sugar and bourbon. Medium body is thin and watery.

Poured a clear very deep brown color with a beige head. The aroma is doughy, chocolatey and mildly smokey. The flavor had a hint of chocolate but otherwise kind of bland. Smooth mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pours black with almost no head. Dusty aroma and flavour with notes mold, chocolate, cheap and bad red wine and a strange sweetness.
