Kolumbus Krisostomus
Bourbon BA Imperial Brown Ale
10.6% vol
Taste
Sweet wine soaked sultanas and chestnuts come through evoking warm winter nights then are joined by perfectly burnt toast, hints of exotic liquorice, and even a light mint character. Roasty, nutty malt characters lead with a supporting cast of dark sugars, sweet lactose, and smooth crystal malts and rich tannins come through from the wine with just a touch of alcohol. Bourbon brings warmth of the new world, whilst the old world is well represented by the ex wine in this intercontinental contemporary brown ale.
