Weird how bourbon barrels affect Dead Guy, bringing out a surprisingly prominent sweet apple fruitiness normally kept in check by the moderate hopping. Here the apples flourishe, mixing with cherry, vanilla and caramel notes to create a cola-like undercurrent, accentuated by the oak and whisky dominating the finish. The booze comes on strong--the bottle says 8.2%, unlike RB's description--but never grows too warm. Booze and Pacman esters on the nose, and the pour comes out okay, a clear copper-gold with a modest head and slight lacing. Slight heat on the palate, but also creamy and sippable. Much prefer regular Dead Guy, but 'N' Dead is worth a pint or two.
