Beer Name: Jefferson's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout (#46)
Style: Stout
Country: USA
Size: 12 oz bottle
ABV: 8.5
From the book:
Brewed by Bluegrass Brewing Company, this stout is aged in Jefferson's Reserve Bourbon barrels for approximately 60 days. This imparts a nice hint of bourbon flavor and aroma to the beer. Deep brown to black in color with smells and tastes of coffee, chocolate, a bit of molasses and accented with the bourbon notes but not overpowered by it. Bluegrass Brewing Company is the largest microbrewery in Kentucky and makes some special craft brews. Jefferson's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout's bourbon edge is quite good and the toasty malt profile plus vanilla creaminess makes the beer a real pleasure to drink.
A real pleasure indeed! It took me a bit of time to get the entire beer poured as this is a very foamy/heady drink. The flavors in this beer are amazing. Nothing is overpowering and the drink is smooth from start to finish. I don't think I have found a new all-time favorite beer, but this one is top 5 at the very least.
10/10
