Year of New Beer: Bourbon Barrel Porter, Abita Brewing (LA)

Written By: Dion on 04/11/2014

With no listing on beeradvocate.com or Ratebeer, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Rooster Brewing in Paris, KY is the only place in the state to have had this on tap. Gentle bourbon sweetness, roasted nuts, and a mild chocolate on the nose. On the tongue is a mild coffee that is pushed aside by a mellow bourbon heat with subtle woody tones. I could have guessed a couple dozen breweries as the maker of this one and still would have been two dozen away from guessing Abita. Solid brew. — at Rooster Brew
