Avery Uncle Jacob's Stout - bottle

20171124:
I decided to skip tasting the Rochefort Trappistes 10 because I had it before. This Avery had a pleasing strong smell and taste, that is, the smell and taste were not overpowering. However, the final sip was strong enough to make me wink my eye. 6:18PM PT

Uncle Jacob's Stout

ANNUAL BARREL SERIES
BOURBON BARREL-AGED STOUT
14.9% ABV

Jacob Spears, our 6th Great Grand Uncle, is credited as the first distiller to label his whiskey “Bourbon.” He built his distillery in Bourbon County Kentucky in 1790 — 203 years before we began brewing. While obviously a bit too late to produce Uncle Jacob’s wash, we’ve instead created something far more complex. In his honor, we present this robust, silky smooth, full-bodied and altogether extremely American rendition of an Imperial Stout aged for 6 months in the very finest Bourbon barrels. This explains a lot about our penchant for big brews! It’s in our blood!
