93 Bourbon Barrel Baltic Porter, Browning’s Brewery (KY). 8% ABV (11/10)
Black brown color. Rich layered aromas and flavors of dried cherries, nutty toffee, and vanilla crème brûlée with a satiny, fruity medium-full body and a long, crisp and drying chocolate covered espresso bean, wafer cookie and peppery spice finish. Paradoxically rich and lush, yet delicate and graceful in texture. A sessionable barrel aged beer? Pair with bleu cheese and nuts.
