Lovingly referred to by Fremonters as the B-BOMB, this bourbon barrel-aged edition of our winter ale has a warming spicy aroma and rich carmelly notes of bourbon, wood and vanilla added to dark roasty chocolatey malt flavors and subtle hopping.

2022 bottle - black pour - cinnamon up front in the nose, followed by coffee, leather, dark fruit, oak, coconut - semi oily texture - approach is sweet chocolate, followed by warming spices, cinnamon, then strong but not abrasive coffee - a lot of dark fruit, vinous notes, leather, cherry skins, bourbon, oak - really smooth for a bourbon-aged beer of such strength - coffee integration is nice, as well - tasty - makes me want to revisit my original rating of the base beer (which I did not like at the time).

Pours an almost black body and a light brown dense head with fair retention. Aroma's of bourbon, cinnamon and subtle coffee. Retronasal: sweet, cinnamon, bourbon, coffee, light red fruit, all well balanced. Flavour is moderate sweet with some roasty bitterness. Above medium bodied. Alcohol is warming but not too sharp. Long finish with cinnamon, light roasty bitter. Very nice!
