Year of New Beer: Barrel Noir, Almanac Beer Co (CA)

Written By: Dion on 03/08/2014

Awesome aromas that run the gamut from chocolate covered cherry to charred oak to black licorice. No disappointment on the tongue as the chocolate blends seamlessly with smoked dark fruit and creamy vanilla, with bourbon content to ride along just under the surface. This is an outstanding beer, and I am grateful that my California connection Dara Hang chose to share it with me. Well done, sir!
