Smoke From The Oak - Apple Brandy Barrel Aged

September 12, 2009

I am a big fan of oak aged beers, as you can probably tell from yet another addition to the “Smoke from the Oak” series.  And I have to tell you, it is getting harder and harder to find new and exciting barrels to age our Smoked Porter in.  This one was simply dumb luck smacking me in the face as I perused the shelves at my local liquor store.  Apple Brandy has been produced in this country for centuries, so why not age our full bodied Smoked Porter in freshly emptied barrels from one of America’s oldest distilleries.  Straight from the Captain’s cellar to yours, we hope you enjoy.

smooth and rich, wtih a hint of heat from the barrels, and a touch of acidity.
