Bourbon Barrel Aged Wee Heavy
Big Willy is as gentle a giant as ever roamed a heath. Brimming with Honey Malt and Chocolate Wheat, the weighty stride of this Wee Heavy Ale is softened by a stint in freshly used bourbon barrels. The result is a flavorful footprint of toasted oak, rich toffee and vanilla. Fee-fi-fo-yum.

Bottle shared. Thanks Cody! Pours a deep brown with a full 2 fingers of foam that linger. Vanilla aromas and oak dominate the nose. Bourbon notes over, some light heat. Smooth with nice barrel character. Cola-like mouthfeel, but good carbonation throughout. Nice drop from Rhinegeist!
