Draft 5 oz pour at Beardslee, Bothell. Tasted side by side with the 2017 Old Growth, regular draft. Bourbon barrel aged version enjoyed on cask. Awesome! Dark ruby orange pour with a thin head. Would never guess this was cask conditioned in a blind. So much bourbon comes through here, but it’s smooth, and hits in all the right spots. Slightly sweet, malty, big bourbon, almost fruit aroma. Rich, flavorful, vanilla bourbon. Has hints of cherry in there. Strong, but no heat from the heavy abv to speak of. It decides to be sweet, over hot. Beyond heavy in flavor, and easily drinkable with all things considered. Absolutely delicious. This is the gem that sits at Beardslee public house. I love it. I hope this will last a while.
