This beauty was created by filling two oak barrels with Lawson's Finest Maple Nipple Ale that had previously held a Maple Bourbon from Saxton's River Distillery in Brattleboro, VT. We patiently waited a year, then blended the oak-aged beer with a small portion of fresh beer. The result is Sticky.

Amber colored with a finger of tan head. Decent retention and lacing. Toffee malts with hints of vanilla and a layer of maple on top in the nose. Super maple-forward taste with slightly-abrasive bourbon behind. The barrel addition reminds me a bit of DKML here. Medium bodied, slightly chewy feel, with soft carbonation; not as sticky as expected. TBH, not one of my favorite Lawson’s, but still nice breakfast flavors for a rainy December morning.

Feel: Light and smooth going down
Overall: Again, sweeter than I thought

Drinks light. Not too sweet. Has a nice earthy, maple syrup backbone. Some vanilla, caramel and toffee flavors. No real bourbon booze flavor. It's good, but wish it was a bit thicker.
