To make Manhattan, we worked on a recipe with pFriem for a golden stout. We brewed together in Hood River but then split the batch, and what we took home to Eugene, we began to age in freshly emptied bourbon barrels.
Because of the lighter body, this base beer was holding on to the warm and complimentary flavors in the bourbon barrels: cinnamon, caramel, vanilla and tobacco. The color was a brilliant amber-gold, very expressive of American oak, and it was reminding us of some of our favorite cocktails.

Dark amber colored beer. Smell is strong oak and smoke with cherry backend. Taste follows nose with smoke and oak bourbon flavor on front end, sweet cherries follow up. Not a terribly complex beer but it fills the shoes it wears. Not bad, would drink again.
