Alesmith brewed this Barrel Aged Wee Heavy in honor of their 30th anniversary.
The California crew blended barrels aged in both port and bourbon casks. Expect vinous dark fruit, whiskey caramel, soft vanilla, and a whisper of smoke drifting into a silky finish.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear dark brown with a transient tan head. Aroma of caramel, bourbon, red grapes and vanilla. Arguably full bodied. Port wine is surprisingly in the taste lead, but bourbon, caramel and oak astringency come quickly after. Heat must be sought to be found. It's deadly drinkable. Excellent.
