Apr 9, 2008 Served at “Free” Beer Party – 2008 at Taco Mac Lindbergh in celebration of the 75 anniversary of the end of prohibition.<P>
Donkey Punch meticulously aged in Jack Daniels barrels. Pours dark red/brown with absolutely no head. Smells of malts and bourbon. No carbonation – but who cares when it tastes so good? Tastes of a bitter/sweet balance. The barrel aging brings all of Donkey Punch’s normally well hidden ABV, to the front of the class.

Nice one.

Feb 9, 2008 Cask @ ATL Cask Ale Fest ’08. Nice hoppy aroma. Big hop taste. More like a double IPA than a barleywine. Good beer.
