Sunriver Brewing Wood Series: Whiskey Barrel Ale
What the brewers say
“Strong ale aged in sour-mash whiskey barrels.”
What our panel thought
“Big bourbon and oak aromas rush to the top of the glass. Refined whiskey flavor with clinging tannins, counterbalanced by caramel malt and pear esters; toffee and browned fruits play a supportive yet critical role.”
What our editors thought
“Fruitier nose with a touch of battered, deep-fried mushrooms. Hop-forward in the flavor with a gentle herbal-citrus bitterness and just a hint of barrel character.”
