Am a big fan of Skagit River beers and I miss their stuff dearly here on the East Coast.
Had on tap at the recent HardLiver BarleyWine festival.
The beer pours a dark amber color with little head rention or laciing (again, very typical of bourbon barrel aged beers). On the nose I get an intriguing aroma of sweet malt and dark bitter chocolate. The aroma is very, very intriguing on this beer. The flavors on the palate replicate the nose and I get an incredible burst of bitter sweet chocolate. The beer is no more then moderately sweet, is medium bodied and finishes very nicely. It's not too heavy for a BW, and was one of the more interesting beers I sampled at the festival (or I probaly wouldn't have bothered to review it - there were just too many beers that day).
Nice effort from Skagit River.
