Our first barrel-aged beer from the Market brewery is a dark lager that was cool-fermented in stainless steel with Alberta blossom honey and bee pollen from Meadow-Sweet Apiaries. It was then aged for 9 months in fresh Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels. The techniques and ingredients give this beer dark fruit notes and complex salinity, with a warming finish.

Nice pop of the bottle upon opening. Looks great as it pours, copper brown with weak silky foam that lingers around the edges of the glass. Smells like a barrel and a brain bin. Tastes like a barrel aged lager. There are many layers here, its very delicate and smooth and finishes with a nice hit of heat from the bourbon barrels.
Will cellar my other bottle for a few years and see what develops.

375 ml bottle - from the cellar with a good 15 months of age on it.
Pours a dark brown, mahogany colour with a finger of bubbly khaki head.
Aroma is malty - brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, raisin note and the bourbon - a hint of roastiness.
Flavours of sweet toffee like malt, dark fruit, vanilla, and again notes of the bourbon and a touch of oak.
Medium full mouthfeel though slightly subdued carbonation - smooth with a warming boozy sweet finish.

Same vintage purchased Feb 2020. Perhaps a bit more fruitiness, sherry - softer booziness - still very good indeed.
