Alvinne Oak Collection The Oak Melchior Ale Brewed with mustard seeds and aged in oak barrels

Alvinne Oak Collection The Oak Melchior Ale Brewed with mustard seeds and aged in oak barrels. Aged in Bourbon barrels (Maker’s Mark) for 8 months!

Clear, reddish hue, slim, off-white head. 

In the nose: vanilla, caramel & oak right from the start. Brandy, leather, cherries, whiskey.

In the mouth: more of the same at play on the palate. Minor hops, major malt, big time barrel. Mustard seeds? Whatever. It’s all swallowed up by the bourbon. Very mellow, despite the 11%,…very smooth and comforting. And okay, maybe I’m picking up the mustard after all.?
