Get to Know: Kentucky Kilt
We’ve made Kentucky Kilt before.Unfortunately, we only made four barrels of scotch ale to age in bourbon barrels back then, and boy were people sad to see it gone so fast! This malt-forward style brings notes of toffee, caramel and brown sugar — sweet yet earthy flavors that can be really thought provoking. But when we age in freshly emptied bourbon barrels, notes of vanilla, coconut and a slight smokiness come out, creating this delicious mix of flavors that are subtle and enticing.
Well this time around, we made more of Kentucky Kilt because a) it’s so good, and b) so we have some extra for the tasting room after our bottle release! With a little more available, don’t be afraid to open some bottles soon as well as cellar some bottles for a while. We feel this beer is fantastic and ready to drink, but with time in the bottle, some very complex, and earthy flavors will emerge, worthy of eyes-closed sipping and contemplation!
Grab a glass and a couple bottles at the tasting room because this is a beer to experience on multiple occasions.
Cheers!
