Westbound & Down Brewing Company Double Barrel Western Justice
What the brewers say
“Aged in an Elijah Craig barrel, then finished in a Black Maple Hill barrel.”
What our panel thought
“Restrained whiskey-barrel aroma, with some sweet malt base. Light fruit esters. Rich chocolate, roast, whiskey, with a lighter strawberry note toward the finish.”
What our editors thought
“Boozy chocolate nose, with a bit of old fashioned–like orange zest and dark cherry. Midtone chocolate in the sip leans bittersweet before unfolding with caramel notes. Slightly thinner body, but powerful bourbon character.”
