Indeed Old Breed Bourbon Barrel-aged Barley Wine

Indeed Old Breed Bourbon Barrel-aged Barley Wine.
9.9 % ABV. 50 IBU.
Indeed Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

Murky mahogany, burnt umber, short-lived brownish head.

In the nose: Glorious. Vanilla, cherry, tobacco, & leather. Rich, magnificent malt, all covered up in whiskey. I'm a natural born sucker for it.

In the mouth: caramel & toffee. Deep malt flavors, brandy, rum, raisins, and all those whiskey associations. Plum delicious. Full bodied, full flavored, right on in every aspect.

The flavors are generous and incredible, then in walks the booze, right on time. Here comes that wonderfully warm feeling, coating the senses, coaxing the brain.

A luxurious nightcap, well-equipped to send me off to slumberland.
