Award-winning Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale® is a unique sipping beer with the distinctive nose of well-crafted bourbon.
Aged for up to six 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, it may also be served as an aperitif or after-dinner drink. Launched in 2006, it has grown to become the flagship beer of the premier name in barrel-aged beers: Alltech Lexington Brewing & Distilling Company.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS — Rich spicy foods like barbecued beef, Oaxacan mole, or hearty Szechuan dishes. Great with buttery, well-aged cheddar. Pairs with desserts like milk chocolate, cream puffs; try it as a float with vanilla or caramel ice cream.
Hops: Fuggles, East Kent Goldings
Malts: 2 Row Pale, Caramel 40, Aromatic Malt, Carapils, Malted Wheat
Tasting Notes: Oak, Vanilla, Caramel, Toffee

A strong, full-flavored American ale that challenges and rewards the palate with full malty and hoppy flavors and substantial bitterness. The flavors are bold but complementary, and are stronger and richer than average-strength pale and amber American ales.

Hmmmm, Bourbon, good. Ale, for me, not good. Another cocktail waitress pick to start Hoppy Hour. As I swish and savor the flavor, it is growing on me. I might go as far as saying it’s a Snifter Of Scrumptious Sips. So follow my lead and swill one down.
