Pappy's Dark

Speciality Ale aged in bourbon barrels
Block 15 Brewing Company, Corvallis, Oregon
750ml bottle, 10%abv

To celebrate an already great Thanksgiving, I decided to crack  open a beer I saved from the last holiday season.

Pours dark amber with a thin head that fades quickly.

Aroma is malt, alcohol and bourbon.

Flavor is malty with lots of big alcohol flavors and a ton of bourbon notes.

Finish is nicely balanced, but with lots of lingering alcohol warmth.

A nice big beer.  Perhaps a tiny bit too much bourbon influence for some folks, but it works for me because I love bourbon.

Happy Thanksgiving!
