Aged for four months in bourbon barrels from the distillery in Kentucky, the Bourbon Barrel Stout is a robust yet balanced beer. Roasted malts give it a chocolate and coffee overtone, and the oak creates hints of vanilla and caramel. At 10.5% ABV, this stout pairs well with smokey barbeque sauce or even rich desserts.

Bottle Thanks Sam. Pours out a dark brown almost black topped with a tan head. Aroma was of bourbon, oak, chcolate and light roast. Taste was much of the aroma lots of bourbon I think a little time would help this one out. It still have all of the vanilla, coffee, and chcolate so it was still very drinkable.

Bottle at post Borefts BF 09 tasting. Black with bourbon on aroma. Some vanilla, ok, some malt character. Some sweetness from bourbon. For a bourbon barrel aged beer, not bad. Still too much though especially the heat on the end.

Courtesy of some cool soul at the weekly Tampa tasting. Pours deep burnt amber with tan head. The aroma has bourbon, a dash of malt, vanilla and some mild sour barrel notes. Behind that I get some pleasing notes of chocolate. The taste is rich with highly roasted malts, chocolate and some barrel induced vanilla. By midway I get bourbon, some soured barrel notes and then oak. Into the finish it gets a bit odd as timid yet nearly full sour notes attempt to take over the flavor completely.

GABF2009 - just when I thought I would never love a bourbon-aged beer again, along came this one - creamy, smooth body - extraordinarily well-integrated oak and bourbon that works really well with the smooth chocolate and coffee flavors of the base beer - lovely texture - warming but not boozy - toasted oak finish - I just might have to drop the coin on a bottle of this.
