A portion of our Oatmeal Stout is aged in Woodford Reserve Bourbon barrels. Six weeks of conditioning lend it a bourbon overtone with mellow vanilla flavors from the American White Oak barrels. Served cool, not cold, via a traditional English beer engine. Intense and bold! Try it with dessert.

This had a nice vanilla and coconut and chocolate character, but it was thin and totally flat. Very mellow brew, but it was too light bodied. Good not great.

Served too warm. Not just cool/cellar temperature, this was served room temperature. However, the flavor was nice and the bourbon wasn't overwhelming.

On cask at the brewpub.
essentially black body with a decent head.
Lots of bourbon flavor and aroma, suggesting the bourbon barrel was not ruined before brewery use.
Smooth but overly light body.
