Spent an evening at the brew pub with friends and got to enjoy this stellar beer.
Served in twelve ounce snifter the poured a dark brown hue with a full finger of beige head. The had great retention and formed thick lace rings after some settling.
The aroma is a beautiful boquet of barrel aged goodness. Sweet malt, chocolate, bourbon, oak, vanilla, smoke, and hints of dark fruit.
The flavor is just as complex as the nose. Malt and bourbon are the main characters along with a great supporting cast. After some hand warming the vanilla and smoked oak barrel really shines. Light chocolate and cherries round things out in the finish.
Nice full creamy body. Almost no carbonation.
Overall a spectacular beer. This is the shinig star of all the beers I've sampled from this place. Well worth your time to head out to the brew pub.

Aged 6 months in 18yo Bourbon barrels.
Blurry dark ruby with brown edging, stacked with a dense tan froth.
Intensely aromatic of chocolate, smoke, barrels with their oak, vanilla, cherries, and toast.
In the mouth, the scotch ale traits are solid, if not outright extraordinary. Viscously chocolatey with an underpinning of smoke. Barreled notes of cherry and vanilla rise up and carry it through the close, globbed with caramel. Oak adds drynesss. Bourbon isn't merely suggested, it is evident in glassy, boozy traits. The scotch aspects resume with an blanketing earthiness, spiked again with the Kentucky spirit. It concludes with a woody, boozy afterglow, and lingering chocolate cherry candies.
Gripping full bodied. Scantly carbonated, but slick and thick and rich. Non-cloying and not explicitly hot, even though booze is a major player.
This sits among the finest example of Bourbon-barrel aged beers I've had. Honestly, the only close comparison is Goose Island BCS. I couldn't be more impressed.
This alone should put Delafield on the SE Wisconsin destination map. Call ahead, and if its going, make the drive.
