Year of New Beer: Slap Happy Bourbon Barrel Aged Brown Ale with Coconut, West 6th Brewing (Lexington

Written By: Dion on 02/27/2017

Huge bourbon kick in the nose, with backing notes of chocolate, oak, and coconut. On the tongue, the bourbon seems much bigger than the listed 7.5% ABV, barreling over (pun intended) the chocolatey and nutty notes of the mid-palate. Very subtle but effective toasted coconut in the finish, along with an almost 'bourbon and coke' type effect. Nice beer, just wish it had a touch more body.
