Draft at RBC, June 3. Don’t know if it’s the same barrel as the previous two ratings, but I don’t have any info that says this wasn’t done before. Cloudy brownish red in my taster. Nice malty smell with, alcohol, oak,and a trace of dried cherry. Taste shows a bit a harsh hop bitterness, which I thought was Northern Brewer, but I see dry hopping in the description. Taste has some bourbon notes,but is still pretty bright in hops. Not thick like some impys, but it still goes down just fine for a hoppy beer.
