This year, we’ve only got one bourbon barrel-aged beer in the Legion, and that’s Jesse. Unfortunately, bourbon barrels are temporarily in short supply, but we managed to get our hands on this sweet specimen. Honestly, bourbon-aged doppelbocks are our absolute favorite. They blend the smoky malt flavors with the subtle saltiness of bourbon, deliver a satisfying alcoholic kick, and are simply a pleasure to drink. They can’t help but bring out our louder side.

0.33 l can from 'Mr. Hop', canned in August 2024. Hazy, deep ruby with a medium large, foamy, quickly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, quite smoky, gently fruity aroma of caramel, molasses, raisins, bourbon, smoked ham and plum. Fairly sweet, malty, moderately bitter, quite fruity, gently smoky taste of molasses, caramel, bourbon, raisins, plum, smoked ham, some vanilla and hints of chocolate, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, slightly boozy finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly effercescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very tasty beer, not overly smoky (unfortunately), but quite heavy on the barrel, great malty and thick base beer as well.
