If you love bourbon, this is one of the first barrel aged baltic porters that really lets the bourbon shine. The barrel aging is not kept in the back and takes the lead. For the first barrel aged beer I have had by Counter Weight they nailed it. Well done as always.

One of my favorite porters. Track this down!
