Year of New Beer (Rnd 1): Bourbon Barrel Chickow, Triple Digit Brewing (Cincinnati)

Written By: Dion on 08/23/2016

Sometimes a beer promises you greatness with the greeting it gives your nose. This is indeed one of those times. Caramel, brown sugar, hazelnuts, chocolate, and vanilla all stand out. Oh...there's bourbon, too. Lots of bourbon. The flavors follow along the same lines. Rich, layered sweetness that envelops both dark fruits and candy store confections. A light oak, earthy bitterness, and sweet bourbon heat round out an assault on the taste buds. This is simply outstanding.
