Пиво Bourbon Barrel Bearded Lady - Magic Rock Brewing

We decided it would be fun to play around with some barrel aging and after a brief discussion got hold of a 54gallon once filled Bourbon cask.

This was duly filled to the brim with Bearded Lady and aged for 6 months.

The Bourbon has rounded and softened the beer while adding a spicy sweet Bourbon note to the flavour, its definitely added something to the beer, is it better? same but different?

We originally intended to hand bottle the majority of the beer but it soon became apparent that we’d need a few kegs for events, so in the end we decided that we would just keg it all.

The first opportunity to taste the beer will be in Norway at the beginning of May, at Haandbryggeriets beer festival in Drammen near Oslo.
