Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Winter Ale
This year’s release of B-Bomb is aged in 8–12-year-old American Oak bourbon barrels and is a blend of 9, 12, and 24-month old barrel-aged Winter Ale. B-Bomb achieves distinct bourbon, oak, cacao, leather, toffee, and dark coffee notes from its extended barrel aging and barrel blending. Each barrel contributes a different note, and combining each barrel to create a coherent tone is a distinct art and true pleasure. Please do enjoy this unique barrel-aged ale today but know that B-Bomb will age gracefully for at least another 5 years. Don’t Be Afraid To Be Abominable.
Down & Dirty: 2-Row Pale, Crystal-120, Munich, Roast Barley, Carafa-2, and Chocolate malts with Columbus, Willamette, and US Goldings hops.

From weihenweizen: pours dark brown with a pretty beige head. Aroma is bourbon, wood, vanilla, cake batter. Taste is boozy, somewhat bitter, woody. The barrel is doing a lot of work here but it is not soaking the beer too much. Spice, vanilla and burn. Nice stuff. This is a 2017 bottle FYI.

Very dark ruby-brown pour with a tall, fine-grained tan headHuge bourbon up front, with additional toffee, coffee, subtle bitter cherries, vanilla, chocolate, quite a bit of bourbon-soaked oak. Soft texture, low carbonation, full body. Really nicely balanced, both in terms of tasting notes as well as mouthfeel and finish. Awesome stuff.
