North By Northwest Blackjack Ale

Growler shared by Bockyhorsey - Pours a slightly hazy brown color with a thin off white head that faded pretty quick. No lacing. Aroma is basicly oak/bourbon. Flavor is oak/bourbon, vanilla, dark esters, and faint chocolate. Quite nice. Medium body. A good, easy drinking BA beer. Thanks Bill.

The Okanogan black ale aged in a Jack Daniel’s whiskey barrel. And oh man, Jack is the first thing I smell. I get some chocolate and wood, but mainly wonderful whiskey. Pours a velvet dark scarlet red. It’s the color I’ve been meaning to make the curtains my guest bed room. Absolutely beautiful. Patchy thin head with a delicate thing ring lingering around the outside of the glass. Flavor: All whiskey upfront followed a strawberry/raspberry mix, some raosty-ness in the body with a smooth citrus finish. Wonderfully crafted beer. I will be back.

Draught. Nose is all bourbon with just the slightest hint of chocolate. A gorgeous scarlet beer in its thinner areas, black where it pools more heavily. Flavor opens with mellow, smooth whisky and folds into chocolate notes that accent it perfectly, followed by an even more complimentary raspberry presence as all three notes muddle together into the finish. Assertive but immensely smooth mouthfeel. Wonderful.

Aroma has the whiskey bourbon barrel wood on the nose. Black body with some amber red tynt when held to light. Flavor was smooth bourbon beer with some coco and caramel mixed in there. Easy on the palate. Good brew.

On tap at the brewery. Dark with no head. Nose of bourbon and malts. Body is very thin and taste has strong bourbon overtones with a decent malt background. Very drinkable and smooth.
