Our Tastes-- Bluegrass Brewing Company Scotch Ale

Finishing off the last of the growlers filled at BBC, I down the last pint or so of BBC Scotch Ale. No longer listed on the tap section, since they turn their variety very often (a great idea), this one is a wonderful malty offering. Used during the aging process were the Knob Creek and Woodford Reserve barrels that Jerry, the brewmaster, showed us during the tour. They had a whiskey cellar torn down and "donated" in trade for beer at there St. Mathews location. It was awesome. It held 30, 50gallon (size of a whiskey barrel, thought it was 31, but that's beer) bourbon barrels. And as warm as it was that day, it still seemed so cool with the gravel laid in the floor. Don't have the tech specs on this one and don't think I could type about them right now anyway. 8.8%abv!
