Filled my growler today with this amazing brew. According to Paul @ Calapooia, it's basically the RiverDog ESB, but aged in bourbon barrels that had previously held KringleKrack.
From the growler it poured into my pint glass a hazy copper color, with a thick creamy head, good retention, heavy lacing. The aroma is amazing! Sweet bourboney(sp?) aroma, along with just the right amount of hops and a hefty malt sweetness. Taste is very true to style, lots of english style hops present. Very balanced flavor. Mouthfeel is very smooth and buttery. Drinkability? Very good. All the flavors and aroma go together so well, and the low abv make this a VERY sessionable brew. I could drink this all day long.
