I'm pretty much going to be favorable towards anything aged in a bourbon barrel. And for the longest time, breweries pretty much stuck to stouts and porters when choosing to age them in old liquor barrels. Of late, i've noticed a upsurge in a wide variety of styles being aged this way...and i'm totally for it.
Abita Brewery out of Louisiana offers up their delicious Bourbon Street Rye Pale Ale, itself aged in small batch whiskey barrels to give it that extra oomph. Pouring light brown, the brew smells kind of earthy, a mix of bread, dark sugars, and light alcohol. The flavor is kind of nutty sweet with hints of vanilla and bourbon and just a smidge of citrus. I really enjoyed this 9.5% ABV beer, and found myself somewhat disappointed when i had none left to drink.
