Our Tastes-- Montgomery BrewPub Double Barrel Stout

Well I attended a wedding yesterday afternoon in part to see an old friend wed and meet a girl. After the wedding, most of us went to the Montgomery BrewPub where Jamie Ray, the same brewer for Olde Auburn AleHouse works. Well the guy behind the bar told me Jamie had a special brew on tap that you had to ask for which was his double barrel stout aged in Jack Daniels barrels. This is one awesome seasonal. There is only one seasonal tap for Jamie to mess with at The BrewPub (it's not like the AleHouse). The double barrel stout was as dark as night but had a great blend of roasted malt that didn't give it that overly coffee flavor. It had little to no head and had to be pushing the 6% mark. By the end of the night I had 6 pints of this stuff and managed to get the girl I met to at least try it even though she is a self proclaimed non-beer drinker which in itself was sexy (her trying the beer). The night was marked with several other comical happenings including me silencing the WHOLE bar with the ole "raise you hand in the lunchroom to be quiet" maneuver. I swear the things you have to do to get a bridesmaid to go out with you!! Hopefully it will be worth it, but the beer sure was good.
