RE: Going Barrel Crazy Part 2: De Molen Sally & Swain
Great review! That beer looks fantastic and I love the opening photo. As soon as I saw "Bowmore" I was curious. It is a little disappointing to hear about the body and lack of the Bowmore presence in the taste, but I'd still love to give it a try.
If you ever have access to Avery Brewing, out of Colorado, they also have a very solid barrel aged series with some rather unique brews.
Thank you very for the comments and the suggestion. We have some really massive beer shops here that might have Avery Brewing and I will keep an eye on it.
Cheers.
Absolutely! I will say they are not all stouts, but they are certainly creative. I have personally had their Nuttiest Professor, a BA Imperial Peanut Stout, which is quite tasty and comes in at 15.2% ABV. But they also have BA blondes, BA sours, BA dark sours, BA porters, BA quintuples (that's right, QUINtuple) etc. And the types of barrels they use range from bourbon, to tequila, to rum, to Islay Scotch, Cabernet Sauvigon, etc.
Sadly, some of these can only be acquired at the brewery... At any rate, they seem rather interesting and Avery makes some excellent brews, so it may be worth it to give them a shot if you see them.
