Bourbon barrel aged Biere de Garde. Biere de Garde is a traditional, artisanal farmhouse ale from Northern France brewed and kept for consumption in warm weather. It is a medium bodied, malty amber ale brewed with high quality Pilsener and caramel malts. Delicately hopped with Czech Saaz for a nice spicy and peppery flavor and aroma. We then inserted this beer into used Angel’s Envy bourbon barrels and let it rest for 20 days. Just enough time to pick up the caramel, vanilla and coconut flavors from the residual bourbon and charred American oak.

On draught at Local Option. The beer pours a slightly hazy golden color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily to a film. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, oak and yeast. Medium-bodied with an oaky and fruity character with flavors of citrus, malt and a bit of spiced hops. The finish is woody with a subtle bourbon and fruit aftertaste. Decent overall.

Tap. Wood, orange, and bourbon aroma. Golden yellow color with small head. Sweet orange up front followed by strong bourbon and light malt flavor. Not bad but the bourbon dominates this beer.
