12.5% ABV malt beverage aged in bourbon barrels. Purchased October 2011, age unknown. Secondary fermentation has not been initiated; this guy is flat. Thick, brown lifeless liquid, prominent bourbon, a little cherry cola. Hopefully this takes shape as it warms.

This is a beer Geeks Ultimate delight, some call it a strong ale, more call it a barley wine, I lean towards the latter, big fruits, cherries, figs, coffee, chocolate, Amazing beer, up front you get that Bourbon aged cask flavor, but not over the top, do not get me wrong, this a big strong beer, if you a not it this kind of style, stay away, one whole year aged in Bourbon casks, that is why it is so flavorful, but so smooth, and yes pricy and hard to find in many places, but over all it is Outstanding and Amazing, one to sip and really appreciate how much time and effort went to brewing this very fine beer, World Class for sure
