Bourbon Barrel Stout
Selin's Grove Brewing Company

Served in the typical selinsgrove pub style glass from a gravity fed firkin. The brew appears dark brown and hazy with a tan cap thats quick to disdolve. Some spotty lace sticks to the glass.

The smell is fruity with raison character blending to fruity alcohol notes. Some light chocolate grain and a citrus/fruity/floral hop element. A hint of almost apple/pear fruity note is the last thing noted across the nose.

The taste is strangely apple and/ornpear skin forward with a drying tannic wood flavor. Some chocolate and musty raw grain/wood is there before the onset of solvent alcohol and lots of fruity hop bitterness.

This is a medium bodied brew with a light amount of carbonation. It is very dry with some unexpected fruity inclusion mostly alcohol driven. Its not great, but not terrible either. 1 glass was more than enough for me. I think these wooden barrels have been sapped of their goodness and should probably be retired at this point.
