After tasting through our rackhouse of spirits barrel-aged beers, we selected a complex blend that evolves as you drink. Rackhouse Reserve incorporates ales aged in a variety of bourbon barrels for up to 18 months, culminating in a harmony of warm flavors reminiscent of caramel, toasted marshmallow, spicy oak and dark chocolate.

500mL bottle. Pours very deep dark brown with very small white head. Aroma has an incredible bourbon character, brown bread malts, toasted marshmallow, wood. Flavour is also packed with bourbon, some marshmallow, a bit of wood, brown bread; good boozy warmth. This is excellent.

Dark brown. Thin head head. The aroma has a great barrel aroma, toasted, with deep dark fruits, fig jam, but there's some nutty accents here. On the palate, it's got a lot of that refined barrel. The base has maple accents, a bit more fig, but and some toffee sugar notes.

500mL bottle, pours black with a tiny beige head. Aroma has a nice blend of bourbon barrels, toasted oak, charred oak, and some spiciness. Flavour has quite a wonderful blend of bourbon, toasted oak, a touch of char, and a hint of vanilla. Fairly low residual sweetness. Body is light-to-medium, which is perfect to showcase the bourbon. Excellent.
