Aged in freshly dumped Rye Whiskey barrels that previously held the award winning James E. Pepper 1776 Rye Whiskey. American Brown Ale with a hint of smoked malt, and subtle notes of chocolate, toffee, oak, vanilla, and bourbon. 10.4% Alc. Drinks best chilled and in a snifter. The flavor will really open up as the beers warms up a bit. Cheers!
