Hidden in the beautiful dark amber color are aromas of vanilla and caramel that compliment perfectly the presence of bourbon. Soft oak flavors transition into a sweet yet slightly dry finish. After aging the ale for four months, the malt and hop complexity of Brrr has melded harmoniously with the bourbon barrels and become a truly one of a kind beer.

Trübe rötlichbraune Farbe, fingerbreite beige Schaumkrone. Geruch nach sehr viel Vanille, Holzfass, Alkohol, Süße. Geschmack süß nach Vanille, leicht holzig, sehr weich und mild, der Alkohol versteckt sich gut hinter der Süße.

Amber with off white head - Malts in the aroma with some wood - Raw wood and some vanilla flavours - Wood goes into the finish - This was too much woody flavour to be good, a little bit disapointed over this one

Brrrbon ’11. Bourbon barrel aging compliments this beer perfectly. Pours out a hazy dark amber with minimal head, little lacing. Aroma of mostly of bourbon right off the bat, some peat, and dark maltiness. Taste brings in more of the wood barrels and bourbon flavors, vanilla, caramel, some Scotch ale malts. Lingering vanilla, bourbon taste. Very gentle, slow warmth. Perfect sipper for a lazy afternoon.

Fra flaske på Tap1 mai-14: vi er i innspurten på fredagskvelden, og vi høyner innsatsen, ikke uten fare for eget liv&helse. Dette er good stuff in good company. Tøff, men god sier Petro. Balansert og potent uten at den slår deg i bakken. Vi går videre til deres Raspberry Russian Imp. Stout.
