Barrel Aged Pie Thief is back! This year we had a lot of various barrel vintages to play with. We took some 15 month old pie thief that was resting in wheat whiskey barrels and blended that with some newer 6 month old pie thief that had been hanging out in some very high quality bourbon barrels. We then finished the beer on several pounds of vanilla beans inside the barrels. The flavors coming out of this are insane... reminiscent of homemade pumpkin pie topped with melted vanilla ice cream, with a nice sip of whiskey in between bites.

Pint can pours with a clear amber body that supports a thin light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up vanilla, cherry like esters, a light cinnamon nuanced pumpkin note and then bourbon booze. The taste delivers a smooth blend of sweet malts, cinnamon, vanilla and then a growing pumpkin meat note tangled with smooth sweet bourbon booze. Toward the finish a cinnamon graham cracker sensation is noticed mingling with bourbon booze and fading pumpkin. Solid unique sipper.
