BridgePort Bourbon Barrel Old Knucklehead

From a 22-oz. bottle from BridgePort BrewPub--Deep ruby color with a small off-white head. Woody, boozy, grainy. Oak and bourbon in the background. Lots of fruitiness on the tongue. Very nice beer and quite affordable.

bottle courtsey of gunhaver: pours a very caramel brown small tan head looks nice. aromaa is very hoppy of citrus a good fresh fruit, some sweet caramel. flavour is a good fruit , some alcohol, slight oak adn bourbon but not much.

Bottle: Orange copper color with a smaller beige head. Aroma is thick with caramel sweetness and hints of vanilla. Flavor is moderate on caramel, light toffee, some oak aged notes, and light citrus hops. Very mellow bw. I’d been wanting to try this for a while, thanks to Jordan for packing this home from Seattle!

A-Woody, Sweet,Prunes,cinnamon AP- Good looking Burgandy or Crimson F-Oaky maybe.. Bourbon aged Egh P-Best part of this beer almost buttery

22 oz. bottle & draft - dark amber with slight haze and quickly fading white head; great nose mix of sweet sugar and malts; chewy texture and has a fruity/hoppy kick to it; more relaxed on draft as the bottle’s freshness is in your face a little; not your standard BW, but i find this delicious; harsh ratings be damned, this is a great beer

Very disappointing given the possibilities of a barleywine aged in bourbon barrels. Pours a classic barleywine ruby copper color. The aroma, while weak, is strikingly hoppy, though - far more so than most barleywines I’ve tried. The taste is acidic, with notes of citrus rind, hops and a bit of the oak from the barrels. The taste of bourbon is disappointingly absent. It’s almost like a boozier version of BridgePort’s IPA with some extra caramel malt thrown in. Very, very ’meh’.

Bottle: Ruby color, light head and lacing. Nose of baby wipes, citrus, oak and more baby wipes. Gross. The citrus gives it a healthy pH level so at least it "feels" safe. The flavor is sharp like cough syrup. Weird cranberry and sweet malts; Christmas fruits and spices mulled in a bad place. VERY medicinal. Awful. Like salty ice cream.

Appearance: Pours a reddish-brown body with a full, frothy, off-white head. Smell: Weak aroma with just some tired, musty pale malts, a pinch of white pepper, and a handful of sawdust. Taste: Pale maltiness with vague tastes of caramel and cinnamon spice. A few wooden popsicle sticks. Earthy bitterness. Light, nominal boubron characteristics are all insignificant. If it didn’t say "bourbon" on the label, you could easily miss it. Astringent, peppery finish. Mouthfeel: A bit beyond medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: No thanks. Hardly even average. I dare say the barrel aging didn’t pay off one bit.
