341ml bottle, day 6 of 'The Great White Wonder Adventure Pack', a collaboration between Central City and Parallel 49 to provide a Beer Advent (I can say that, even if they can't) holiday experience. A barrel-aged Kentucky Common, with a god-forsaken Bon Jovi reference.
This beer pours a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves some decent, in need of pruning hedge profile lace around the glass as it lazily subsides.
It smells of bready and grainy caramel malt, some musty yeastiness, an acrid, soused-up woody character, faint domestic fruity esters, and ethereal earthy, leafy, and weedy green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and crackery caramel malt, some free-range toastiness, buttery barrel notes (Jack Daniel's?), slightly phenolic yeast, a gentle oily nuttiness, and more well understated earthy, herbal, and weedy hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly tame in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, nothing really getting in the way of a good 'ol time here. It finishes off-dry, that toasted malt and cheap whiskey essence presiding.
Overall - yeah, as you probably can tell, I'm not a fan of the style, and putting it in barrels isn't going to help matters. There's nothing particularly wrong with this one, but damned if I can tell you what's right with it. And bloody Bon Jovi, gaaaah!
