Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale brewed by the Alltech’s Lexington Brewing
Company - Kentucky
Award winning Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale is a unique sipping beer with the
distinctive nose of a well-crafted bourbon. Our Kentucky Ale is aged for up
to 6 weeks in freshly decanted bourbon barrels from some of Kentucky’s
finest distilleries. Subtle yet familiar flavors of vanilla and oak are
imparted to this special ale as it rests in the charred barrels. Pleasantly
smooth and robust, Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale may also be served as an
aperitif or after dinner drink.
Beer Review by Beer
Advocate
Pours a clear, bright copper color. The white head is a finger's worth high,
with low retention and heavy lacing.
Big aromas of bourbon dominate, with wood and oak, sweet malts and vanilla. Very
rich, aromatic and pleasant.
Taste is of caramel malts, bourbon whiskey, woodiness, toffee and vanilla.
Features a nice alcohol warming and little to no bitterness.
Mouthfeel is smooth, with moderate carbonation and a medium body. Finish is of
caramel malts and bourbon.
Overall a very enjoyable bourbon beer. Different in that most bourbon barrel
aged beers are bigger and heavier, but this lighter beer is quite tasty.
