Jupiter (The Bringer Of Jollity) - Barrel-Aged
Bell's Brewery - Eccentric Café & General Store

With months of sitting, simmering and sulking in bourbon barrels the once fine, young and gentlemanly brown ale that went into those whisky barrels comes out a brand newly aggressive taste.

With a foggy mahogany pour, Bourbon Barrel Aged Jupiter Ale floats a spicy, boozy, chocolate and caramel, scent over a dainty swirl of coffee creme. Toasty, spicy and with those tingling sensations on the nose, the flavors lead with a savory, toasty, chocolate, toffy and nutty maltiness.

Although bold and robust, the beer's soft toastiness allows the bourbon to shine. Not rivaled by the roast of stout by any measure, the somewhat finesse oriented Brown Ale allows the peppery spice, the oaken nuance, wood caramels and vanillans to add complexity to the toast, chocolate and caramel malt flavors naturally. Assertively hopped for a spicy and herbal balance, a tea-like presence brings about a broad and woodsy bite.

Full, creamy and prickling to the tongue, the beer's malty-spicy influence lends an digestive taste and spicy mouthfeel. Nutty, toasty and spicy, the imperial brown ale trends long, savory and robust on the after palate.
