Description

Our Kentucky Friar pours a hazy deep golden color and slightly off white head. The aroma is full of caramel, toffee, sherry, vanilla, oak, and a smooth bourbon. The taste starts strong with a sweet english toffee topped with a large dark cherry. The carbonation adds a slight tickle as the warming effect of the alcohol takes hold. An easy finish full of vanilla and bourbon gently washes over your palate as you prepare for your next sip.

    Harley R. Metcalfe – January 10, 2020

    I normally drin k Abbey Ale, but this is an excellent substitute for those occassions when Abbey is not available. I enjoy the distinct but not overpowering taste the bourbon barrels give this, and it is smooth with a very pleasant finish.

    Scott Kranz – January 10, 2020

    Awesome! A little malty caramely & a little tart. Ends very boozy that gets more boozy as it warms. Warm tingling in the throat all the way down.

    I love bourbon and most any barrel aged ale or stout. Kentucky Friar became my favorite yet, beating out one from a Kentucky brewery! Please make this year round!

    Stephen Goss – January 10, 2020

    Very delicious Bourbon flavors yet not overly so like some other Bourbon Casked beers out on the market. Try it!

    Fantastic! Bourbon Barrel Abby with Cherry is probably my favorite but this is a damn close second.
