One year ago, we filled whiskey barrels from our neighborhood friends at both Crater Lake Spirits & Oregon Spirit Distillers with a boysenberry-fermented Baltic Porter. Once we tasted through these two sets of barrels, our team was impressed by the unique & tempting quality of both. It was clear that the original plan of blending them together would be the loss of a rare opportunity. Here we share with you that opportunity to experience the character imparted by each the rye & bourbon barrels on Boysen the Wood.

Silver waxed bomber from Market of Choice on Belmont in Portland, OR. Pours dark ruddy brown with a foamy beige head. Aroma of bourbon, dark treacle, boysenberry, and something suggesting chocolate. Med + body. Flavor suggests bourbon/chocolate - with boysenberries. Some woody astringency. Very tasty ale. Not very dry, but the whiskey helps with that.
