5/01/2009: Barrel House Bitter has a clear, deep golden/copper color. Its aroma fights between toffee and buttery caramel. The flavor has a nice leafy bitterness paired with a soft maltiness. There is just a hint of buttery toffee malt as well and a pleasing dry bitterness. The buttery quality fades a bit once the beer has had an opportunity to breathe. This beer is a soft and smooth mouthfeel. This is a true pub bitter right here in Cincinnati! This is a great new offering from the brewery, but it does need to be cleaned up just a bit.
Cask sample at Dilly Deli in Mariemont, Ohio. Thanks Peanut! Rating #1 for this beer.
