Of any character none would benefit more from the smooth mellowing kiss of bourbon than Old Scrooge. A long slumber in single use Kentucky Bourbon barrels marries fruity esters and rich malt body with cherry, wood and vanilla.

Can from Capitol Highway Deli Mart

A deep mahogany red with a thin, beige head that falls off to a ring leaving little lacing. The nose is rich, fruity, figgy with cola, caramel and a mild bourbon character. Vanilla. The palate opens sweet with an almost RC Cola and caramel sweetness, with a light root bitterness. Dried dark fruit. Medium in body, softly carbonated. Long finish with caramel and toffee. Minimal barrel character. Could use a little more leather.

Poured from a 22oz bottle into a stemless wine glass.

Look is a hazy brown with amber highlights and little to no head.

Aroma is toffee and dark red fruits.

Taste is deep vanilla and sweet toffee.

Delicious

500ml bottle - 2019 vintage. Opened 12-24-19.
Dark brown - amber, fairly clean and bright when held against the light. No head to speak of, only an off white ring and a wispy island in the middle of the beer. Called up about 1/4" of head when agitated about 1/3 way through.
Boozy wood, sweet caramel and not a whole lot beyond that initially. Fruity esters start to show about 10 minutes in.
Malty and heavy with barrel influence, wood, dark fruit - raisin. Vanilla. Port-like sweetness in the middle.
Full body, slick/oily mouthfeel. Long, semi-sweet barrel finish. Some alcohol warming.
Good. I'm interested in trying the base beer next.

Reddish-copper body; thin yet lasting head; some rings of foam along the glass. Sweet, fruity aroma interlaced with notes of leather, roasted nuts and hints of bourbon. Sweet, fruity flavor; dates and dried raisins; bitter and boozy. Warm, heavy body; sweet and dry elements vie with each other yet ultimately balance things out.

An all-around, very fine barrel-aged heavy ale. There are enough sweet, almost tart esters to tame the boozy, woody elements. A nice find...
