The latest TM nitro seasonal, served in 12 oz tulip glasses. Available only at the taproom. Overall, the base character of the Open Road brown is enhanced by the additional bourbon feel. It's not amazing - they have definitely done better work with previous barrel aged beers, but it's certainly worth a try if you're in the vicinity!

12oz glass at the brewery's tap room, on nitro. Can't pass that up!
This beer appears a clear, dark roan brown colour, with one finger of puffy, foamy, and above all, creamy off-white head, which leaves a solid sheer of draped lace around the glass as it gently subsides.
It smells of Tennessee quality barrel booze (astringent corn mash and vanilla), grainy caramel malt, some free-agent ashiness, and an indistinct dark fruitiness. The taste is bready caramel malt, corny whisky, wet vanillan wood, bruised apples and pears, and some tame damp ash.
The carbonation is nitro, ergo it's all smooth frothiness this, and agreeable creaminess that, all under a decent enough medium weight body. It finishes off-dry, the malt and woodsy corn holding court.
Overall, you get out of something what you put in - here, it's cheap Yankee whiskey and a decent (even award-winning) base brown ale. Worth trying, but just a bit too sweet in the end for me.
