This is only available at the brewpub. They take the mash from the 3 Guy Off the Scale Ale and use a Belgian yeast. This particular batch was aged in oak barrels for 6 months with 140 lbs. of peaches thrown into the brew during fermentation.
Appears a murky browninsh amber with a small white head that fades into a collar.
Smell is of oaky bourbon, vanilla, caramel, raisins.
Taste is of bourbon blended oak, caramel, raisins, toffee, and complex flavors that don't overpower anything. Nice blend that hits the nail right on the head.
Mouthfeel is smooth, creamy, oaky, and f'in perfect!!
Drinkability...this is so great that you won't care about anything else...life is good. WARNING: Not for the faint of heart. I heard a few people complaining that it smelled like bourbon...well, duh!
