Iron Hill Bourbon Wee Heavy

Appears a mahogany toned brown with a small, off-white cap that fades into a mild layer and heavy collar. Tons of scattered lacing are left around the glass. Smell is of toffee, broubon, caramel, vanilla, raisins, cream, brown sugar...similar to a glazed sticky bun with a spritz of bourbon. Taste is of the mentioned aromas with tons of creamy caramel, toffee, broubon, vanilla, tobacco, and perhaps even a touch of cocoa. Mouthfeel is of slight heat in the mouth, along with sweet raisins and toffee, which linger with a warming welcomeness of booziness and tobacco, along with a touch of spiced gingerbread in the swallow. Hell, yeah!

On tap at Pville for the 08 Mug Club night. Pours a nice hazy ruby/amber with orange notes and a smaller bubbly/creamy off white head. Aroma was lots of bourbon, vanilla, oak, dark fruits, sticky sweet malt, nuts and earthy. Flavor was of bourbon as well, but slightly more toned down than the flavor (but it was really intense in the nose), caramel, vanilla, dark fruits, toffee and some toasted malt.

Chris and Vince do a great job on all their seasonals. They are never afraid of trying something new and always strive to keep the freshest seasonals on tap.

Poured a reddish copper color with a small tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of bourbon, some smoke, vanilla, roast, and chocolate. Excellent taste... caramel maltiness, roast, bourbon, sticky mouthfeel, rather thin. But still an amazing beer.

Loved it. Anything Iron Hill puts into a bourbon barrel in my opinion is liquid gold to me. This slick brew offers up so much in the way of flavor you’ll be dizzy after the first sip with delight. I even had the girlfriend liking it! Vanilla and oak permeate every aspect of the brew in a superior effort. I’m at either Media or West Chester once a week.
