I thought this was a pretty solid Bourbon Barrel Aged beer. 6.5% seems a lot less than what they had on the board when I was there. Pours a dark brown, with basically no head. Nose is caramel, bourbon, and just a little bit of hops. Solid beer, but I think the regular Argus was better. Worth a shot though.

Wow, this was really good. Big brown pour, barely any head at all. Big bourbony alcohol nose backed by nice chocolate and malty notes. Very tasty going down. Hope to get back before its gone.

on tap at RB Yorktown, pours dark reddish-brown with white head. nose is sweet caramel and licorice. flavor sweet toasted biscuity, woody, bitter hops still alive in there. a nice beer but nothing special.

Draught at the pub. I’ve really come to like heavily hopped brown ales and found myself enjoying both the barrel aged and standard Argus here. The barrel aged argus pours an opaque dark brown with a big lacing light tan head. Aroma is citrusy hops, and malts with a subdued barrel character. Nicely hop forward with a sweet malt character that is complimented by the dry oak and bourbon barrel notes. Medium bodied smooth drinkg with a dry lingering bitterness.

On tap at brewpub. Thought the barrel aging thinned out the body a little too much. Preferred the regular version of the Argus.
