Eastlake Velvety Bandit Barrel Aged Brown Ale

Eastlake Velvety Bandit Whiskey Barrel Aged American Brown Ale. 6.5 % ABV. Eastlake Craft Brewery, Midtown Global Market, Lake Street is for Lovers, Minneapolis, MN.

Thoroughly brown coloring, absolutely opaque, slim cream-toned head atop.

In the nose: Whiskey hits first, sweet and caramel-y. Touches of toasted dark malts just below the massive barrel effects. Hint of vanilla, whiff of cherry.

In the mouth: Once more, whiskey takes command of the palate. Sweet, supple, malty. Medium bodied. Whiskey flavors last long. And that's just what I like. I'm a sucker for it. And this one works for me. Hits all the right notes.

It's a good barrel-aged brown ale and you can drink it.
