Our barrel-aged “Cocktail Series” continues with Kentucky Mule – our answer to the classic Moscow Mule cocktail, substituting Russia’s favorite spirit with Kentucky’s finest.
The journey of this beer began when we blended two equal lots of our signature Bravo brown ale and Helldorado blonde barley wine, both aged for 18 months in premium Kentucky bourbon barrels. We then infused this blend with hand-diced Fiji-grown ginger as well as fresh California lime zest and juice, perfectly accentuating the beer’s bourbon-inspired flavors of vanilla and maple syrup. The result is a true Moscow Mule-style sipping experience with a uniquely American twist.

Bottle from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours clear dark brown with a slight, transient beige head. Aroma of lime, ginger and light bourbon - malty is in the mix. Med body at least. Flavor is ginger, lime, darkish malt, ginger again and bourbon with some oak astringency. Neither dry nor sweet. Not exactly bitter either - xpt perhaps for ginger and lime. Maybe it is pretty dry. Interesting mix of flavors.
