This is the bourbon barrel aged version of Everett (1908- 1939), our grandfather's brother, as well as the name of our American porter. In his honor, we aged this ale in select bourbon barrels for 20-plus months. The beer rested contentedly, absorbing and harmonizing with all that the oak had to offer, taking on the complex characters of the spirit and reflecting that which we remember best of our great uncle.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours black with a thick tan head. The nose is rich, roast, toast, earth, burnt brown sugar, nougat, unripe coconut and toast. The taste is rich, earth, roasty, acidity, toasty, spice, wood, alcohol, coconut and vanilla with a dry finish. Full body, fine carbonation and oily mouth-feel. Dunmo... Not quite there. Base beer is great, but this is not quite there.

Bottle thanks to Will. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is roast, dark chocolate, oak. Medium mouthfeel with rich roasted malt, dark chocolate, light wood and bourbon, easy to drink, very impressive.

500 ml Bottled on 02/2014. Aroma nice subtle bourbon, Cocoa, vanilla and a touch of oak. Tan head with bubbles, soapy lace with light retention.
Flavors of layered malts, dark fruit, brown sugar, cocoa upfront with nice subtle vanilla bourbon in the back end. Hints of licorice and molasses and nice lingering dry roasted character. Great flavor with a nice oil texture that allows it to slide down the gullet. Damn nice drinker!

New entry for 2014 (different barrels used as confirmed by the brewer)
A - Pitch black, light 1 finger coffee head, sticky chocolate darkness.
S - Nose is big roasted chocolate toffee, figs and prunes. Feeling all geriatric on the nose here.
T - Lots of fresh crema, touch of sweet candy peppermint or licorice. Chocolate cake and roasted espresso beans covered in cocoa.
M - Creamy, thick mouthfeel, minor abv taste hits the final finish
O - Having this one much fresher than the last BA everett variant and I think I like it almost identically.
