Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale

 There are some hints of citrus in the nose of this barrel aged ale, but primarily you will smell bourbon. I am fond of this trend to age various beers in liquor barrels, but often the flavor of the liquor is overpowering. The bourbon flavor is quite strong in this case, but as it nears room temperature, you will notice some hints of caramel, indicative off the malts used during the brewing process. There is a sharp alcohol bite to this brew also a slight oiliness which makes me wonder if there are some hops in there. Though not outstanding, quite enjoyable.
-Zech gives this brew 3 out of 5-
