This special version of BA B.O.R.I.S. was aged in very special Canadian Whiskey barrels, instead of Kentucky Bourbon barrels. What you get is a crisper, cleaner character imparted from the barrel aging, which is a refreshing twist on this specialty – our highest rated beer.

Bottle from Bruisin’ Ales. Pours dark brn/blk with a transient very dark tan head. Aroma of dark treacle, dark fruits, seemingly coffee. Full bodied. Flavor is dark and treaclish with some heat, coffee and detectable chocolate. It’s very warming. Top of the old school I.S.s Amazingly good impact of flavor. Goes very nicely with Marcus’ raspberry.
