Description

Prepare to embark on a journey of rich, complex flavors with Mike's Brewery Barrel Aged Porter. This imperial porter boasts a deep, opaque mahogany-black color, topped with a thick, creamy tan-colored head. The aroma is a captivating blend of a robust malty backbone, with notes of roasted caramel, chocolate, and cocoa, subtly intertwined with the oak and vanilla notes from the bourbon barrel aging. On the palate, this full-bodied and viscous porter delivers an intense symphony of flavors. The roasted malt, dark chocolate, and coffee notes take center stage, while the bourbon barrel aging imparts a delightful touch of vanilla, oak, and a hint of spice. The subtle hop bitterness helps to balance the sweetness of the malt, creating a harmonious and well-rounded taste experience. The finish is long-lasting, with a warming alcohol glow and a pleasant residual sweetness that is tempered by the dryness of the oak. Mike's Brewery Barrel Aged Porter is a true connoisseur's delight, a complex and flavorful dark ale that showcases the art of barrel aging. This exceptional beer is perfect for sipping and savoring, whether on a cold evening or during a special occasion.
