Jackie O's Bourbon Barrel Aged Skipping Stone

This 12% ABV Belgian style quad aged in bourbon barrels is from Jackie O's Pub & Brewery in Athens, Ohio.

The beer pours black, with a short, thin, head of tan. The aroma is sweet, dark molasses, fruity like dark berries, with an overlay of bourbon. The taste is quite sweet, toffee, molasses, brown sugar, bourbon, with some dark roasted notes. The finish is sweet, but with some woody oak astringency. The beer drinks smooth, near still, but with light carbonation. Its body is full, without being heavy, but up to the job of holding up the ample flavors.
