Oak Aged Rye 75
So, I've been going to Party Town down in Florence, KY for about a year or so now...and, upon my first visit, I realized they sold growlers. And, what's even better, is that these taps rotate on a pretty regular basis. This beer, which was conceived, I believe, by some of the employees of the place, and brewed by BBC, is quite a treat. It's homegrown, flavorful, and just a really cool idea. Pours a nice reddish-brown color with little head, though this might change when poured from a bottle (which I hear this beer has just gone to). Smells of sweet hops, citrus, pine needles, cinnamon, little vanilla, wood, rose petals. Tastes as good as it smells. This was aged on oak for I'm not sure how long...but some of those flavors exist here. The overwhelming hop flavor is balanced well between the rye and the oak aging. It is bitter-sweet, and quite a pleasure to drink. Flavors of citrus, vanilla, and plenty of hops here. Overall, a very nice selection. This is a great beer and I'm glad it seems to be doing so well. Nice job Party Town Guys and BBC! Nice.
