BOURBON BARREL AGED WINTER ALE WITH COCONUT
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. This special edition adds toasted coconut to complement the bourbon, oak, cacao, leather, toffee, and dark coffee notes achieved 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 Coconut Edition B-Bomb will age gracefully for years to come. 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 with coconut.
ABV: 14.0% IBU: 65
Color: Deep black
Aroma: Toasted coconut, oak, bourbon, vanilla
Flavor: Chocolate, dark fruits, bourbon, coconut
Availability: Released mid-December, limited.
Fresh Range: Age this beer, or try one now...go on.

Draught @ MBCC 2019 - Yellow Session
Pours black with a tan head. Aroma has notes of roasted malt, chocolate, coconut, vanilla, oak, coffee and alcohol. Taste is heavy sweet and medium bitter with a long coconut, chocolate, coffee, alcohol, vanilla and oak finish. Body is full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Sampled at Red Apron Union Market, pours an oily black with a ring of tan head. Woooo... booze right off the top, tar, whiskey, heavy licorice. Flavor is heavy with the malt and molasses and licorice, lots of booze, caramel, tar. The coconut is there, but it's very muted. Full bodied, fusel and boozy finish.

Roast and coconut with some bourbon, sweet tobacco and cacao. Fairly sweet stuff. Boozy, with a syrupy consistency. Not something I would drink again but it's pretty good for what it is. Tap at Churchkey.

Bottle thanks to Chris at Castlegate Share. It pours darkest brown with a small tan head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, toasted coconut, coconut water, chocolate cake, bounty bar, coffee, roasted malt and fudge. The taste is slick, sticky, fudge, chewy, toasted coconut, toothy, tannin, boozy warmth, oak, tannin, cacao nibs, earth and burnt fruit cake with a warming finish. Full body and fine, foamy carbonation. Fun stuff.
