Year of New Beer: Bourbon Barrel Aged Gramps, Rhinegeist Brewery (Cincinnati)

Written By: Dion on 09/10/2016

Sweet nose features raisins, plums, prunes, caramel, and toffee. Lesser notes of oak and cured tobacco are crushed by a building bourbon kick. On the tongue, burnt sugars are complemented by hints of chocolate and dessert breads. Very light, earthy hops provide a touch of bitterness against an oak and increasingly aggressive bourbon kick. Great beer. I wish I had gotten a second bottle to sit aside and let mellow.
