The seventh release in our Bishop's Barrel series will be available beginning Monday, July 28. BB7 is a Russian Imperial Stout aged in Woodford Reserve bourbon barrels for over 11 months.
The result is a beer tasting of a mix of spice, along with bourbon and chocolate emerging and lingering throughout. Our house yeast adds a slight creaminess, and a different roasted malt give this imperial stout a slightly sweeter, rounder character than BB1 and BB3. It is a pleasant sipping beer with the bourbon both present but not overpowering, and it is oddly easy to drink for a beer coming in at 11.3% ABV.
As with previous Bishop's Barrel releases, bottles are available only at bars and restaurants. Check out the Other Fun Stuff section below for a few BB7 release events, and keep up with the hashtag #BB7 on Twitter for more places to find it.
