Commercial Description:
This is a limited edition of our award winning Smoked Porter. This beer was transferred from the fermentation tank five days after it was brewed to a fifty-three gallon freshly emptied bourbon barrel where it was aged for one year. Over that year we carefully adjusted the storage temperature in order to allow the beer to work in and out of the wood of the charred American oak barrel. This process of aging allowed the flavors of the bourbon to blend with the beer, leaving a seamless transition of flavor and aroma with hints of vanilla and caramel. The smoke flavor of the beer takes a backseat to the charred oak of the barrel to make for a perfect blend of smoked porter and bourbon.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of smoke, bacon, and vegetables. The flavor is sweet and very smoky, but also with notes of chocolate and caramel. I find the the body a bit on the light side.

Bottle. A black beer with a beige head. The aroma and taste is of smoked malt. Medium body with a light sweet smoked finish. To much smoke for my taste.

Rate beer rating # 4,200. 22oz, red waxed, bottle acquired in trade with xmarcnolanx (thanks!). Poured a dark brown with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of chocolate, charred wood, vanilla, whiskey (but not overpowering), and smoke. Some earthiness came out as I poured more. Tastes of whiskey (more than the aromas), chocolate, some wood, and some roastiness. The whiskey was there but not too strong or overbearing. Thinner body.
