Lexington Brewing Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale (pack of 4) (35.5cl, 8.2%)

This is a barrel-aged English strong ale brewed in Kentucky by Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co. It is brewed with 2 Row Pale, Caramel 40, Aromatic Malt, Carapils and Malted Wheat, hopped with Fuggles and East Kent Goldings, then aged for up to six weeks in charred bourbon barrels from the brewery's own Town Branch Bourbon. The aroma leads with warm vanilla, toasted oak, caramel sweetness and bread-crust notes. On the palate there is vanilla sweetness, toasted oak, light tannins and bread-crust maltiness, with restrained English hop bitterness. The finish is medium in length, with lingering oak tannins, warmth from the alcohol and a dry, lightly woody close.
