Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter

Brown Ale - American

They don't make 'em like they used to... or do they? The bottle shop series is a tribute to the folks who supported ragtag brewer's across the country when craft beer was in its infancy. when beer enthusiasts sought out innovation through big flavor, in your face complexity and revered quality above all else. This series is for you: the distinguished beer connoisseur still seeking the revolution that energized the industry we know today -- that settles for nothing less then the very best!

Ale aged in bourbon barrels with orange peel and cherry. Super interesting. Smells like a booze, tastes like a caramel-y, vanilla-y booze/beer hybrid.

A really nice sipper, especially once down to about room temp. Has a note of cherry with some lighter malt.

Imperial Brown Ale aged in bourbon barrels. Very little bourbon barrel is present. Slightly sweet with some dried fruit.

Lots of flavors and not as boozy and I expected. Def a sipping brew, and a good one at that. Per Founders description, reminds one of an Old Fashioned.

Pretty good approximation. Much more refreshing than expected. Spices and barrel with citrus and cherry. Strategic bottle placement on the photo

This puzzles me. Notes of anise. Nose of cherry. Booze without the barrel. Touch of spice. This is a truly fun old fashioned ale. Make that one win for cocktail beers. The victory tally is sparse

It’s really tasty, but it should have bigger bourbon/alcohol flavors for what it is. Not as boozy as you expect from an 11% beer. That’s probably a good thing for some but not for my preference on a bourbon beer

The bourbon notes don't overwhelm the bitter orange and hints of cherry, so the result is something unique rather then just another over-bourboned dark beer. Nice one!

Why is this rated so poorly in comparison to their other BA stuff? It’s pretty damn good and definitely tastes like an Old Fashioned. Seems like a success to me.

Interesting. It's supposed to be like an old fashioned. The first bottle I had I drank from the bottle (outside party). This time it's in a glass. Boozy, but different than BBA stouts.

Tried to check in first one Thursday but untapped wouldn't let me login. I like this beer, I hop it gets added to the regular brew roster as it could be one of my annual favorites.
