Iron Hill Bourbon Braveheart

Brewed by Iron Hill Lancaster
Style: Scotch Ale
Lancaster, Pennsylvania USA

On draft at the Lancaster location. Pour was full coppery-amber, hazy, nice white colored head on top. The aroma was strong bourbon and vanilla. The flavor followed suit, strong bourbon, vanilla, maybe some oakiness underneath, smoke, cocoa, caramel. Mouthfeel was full, a little sticky, undercarbonated. Overall, a tasteful bourbon brew, but it was hard to pick out much in the base beer: in other words, a bit overdone on the BA. (Although most folks want the overdone-ness in their Bourbon BA brews for some reason, so....)

Poured a lightly hazy dark amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of vanilla, caramel, bourbon, roasted malts, cocoa, toast, and nuts. Taste of caramel malts, roast, light smoke, buttery toffee, vanilla, bourbon, and light alcohol in the finish.
