Bourbon-Barrel Brown Ale
It is with great pride and thanks that we tap Ferocious Five, a bourbon-barrel aged brown ale of stupendous character. The 5 is a reprise of our much-loved “Terrible Two” from ’09 – a strong brown ale base brew, aged in true Kentucky bourbon barrels for the better part of a year. The leftover goodness trapped in the wood is slowly released…a whiskey lover’s fantasy brew.

Sampled on tap at PIB, pours a dark brown / near-black with a medium tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, bourbon barrels, lots of fruity notes, slight rubbery notes. Flavour is intense, a mix of many different styles working well together, with roasted malt, dark fruits, tart berries, and bourbon barrels. The blend is expertly done. ABV is very well-hidden at 12%. Excellent sipper.
