Barrel Aged Smoke (Smoked Porter)
22oz. Bottle, enjoyed in a tulip. I have never had an O'Fallon brew before this gem, now I will seek them out. First off this is a very balanced beer, many barrel aged beers have a dominate bourbon flavor. O'fallon struck a perfect balance between roast, smoke and bourbon. The appearance is right on except for the head, it comes and goes leaving little evidence it was ever around. No evidence of alcohol in the nose, just a small hint of whats to come. Bourbon hangs out in the back of my tongue with subtle smokey notes in the aftertaste. This beer is not overly complex but it's appreciated. Beer finished clean and dry, waiting for the next gulp. Very drinkable, I will purchase this one in the future if available.
