The Bruery Papier (Bourbon Barrel Aged)

Bottle 2580 out of 4777. No pressure at opening which worried me, but after smelling and tasting this beer I didn’t even think about carbonation. Pours dark brown with burgundy hue. Zero head. Aroma of wood, dark fruit , and alcohol. Alcohol is more dominant as the beer warms up. Smooth full body mouth feel. Cherry, plum, vanilla, black cherry, bourbon, and wood flavors. Whoever can wait decades to try this beer has a lot of patience.

Bottle. Pours with caramel color and very little carbonation. Bourbon aromas and very complex note of wood, dust, funk and caramel. Flavor profile is similar with the bourbon shining through more. The alcohol is very well hidden.

Murky brown pour with no head. Big bourbon nose with heat abounding. Loads of bourbon alcohol. Not exactly smooth, but didn’t seem like 16%. Great sipper.

(750ml bottle) Pours an amber-brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of bourbon, roasted malt, vanilla, chocolate, and raisins. Flavor of bourbon, caramel, toffee, roasted malt, vanilla, and brown sugar.

(bottle number 4674)brown body with no head.aroma is tobacco,tannins,black liquorish,oak,and bourbon.flavor is much of the same with some leather,cloves,and a twangy finish.idk for some reason it just doesnt come together that well for me.

Sample from a bottle at the RBSG Grand Tasting at Drakes. Cloudy rusty brown with very little head. Nose of slightly sweet chocolate,oaky vanilla, and bourbon. Flavor has caramelized candi sugar, vanilla, bourbon, and a hint of cocoa.

Bottled at the Bruery’s anniversary. Dark brown with red tint and barely any foam. The aroma is an assault of rich bourbon, caramel, and vanilla, The sweet malty base is there, but the barrel dominates. The flavor is a mix of brown sugar, caramel, vanilla, and lots of bourbon. Lacks the hotness of the brandy version, though the bourbon is still the overriding characteristic. Full bodied with low carbonation and light stickiness. Smooth bourbon domination, but is a good way.

Appearance: Midnight red with no bubbles. Aroma: Bourbon and vanilla. Taste: Booza and a twang of something, vanilla and oak. Mouthfeel: Full bodied almost sticky. Overall: Awesome, wonderful bourbon bomb.
