a treat from the good folk at Oregon Trail.
she's a touch cloudy and appears an amber color, not really "brown" I'd say, nonetheless, brilliant on the carbonation side.
The smell is intoxicating, a hint of bourbon, vanilla, oak, floral hops, a bit of a burn, no malt.
The olfactories belie the beer within, however. Bourbon tingles the tongue first, then vanishing. Its absconding reveals a plain, perhaps infected beer. There is a tartness here not altogether unpleasant, but a bit out of the ordinary. What would more time have done? The hops finish it off with a quick burst of flowers and citrus and leave the mouth a bit dry.
A bit disappointing, especially after the Bourbon Porter and the aroma of this one. My thoughts on the origin of this beer (just a guess, perhaps I am mistaken) is that this is some Pale or IPA that didn't turn out just great (a little infected, perhaps) and a barrel previously used for the Porter was reused for this purpose. This would explain the light color (from what I recall, quite a shade lighter than their usual brown) and the funkiness that dwells within.
Regardless, these are good people, making good beers, their Bourbon Barrel Porter an especial example. I wish to try it now, I remember it being my favorite beer from my last rodeo through the NW quadrant of Oregon.
