Anderson Valley Brewing Company Boont Barl

Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the NorCal Beer Blog’s brew review.

Tonight’s featured beer is Anderson Valley Brewing Company Boont Barl – Bourbon Barrel Aged Amber Ale – Malt Beverage Aged 6 Months In Wild Turkey Bourbon Barrels.

I picked up this beer at CRAFT Beer & Wine in Alameda, CA (here).  This place has a great selection – check it out!

From the Anderson Valley Brewing Company website: “What began with our flagship Boont Amber Ale and a passion for experimentation has become a unique addition to our Anderson Valley Wild Turkey Barl Series. The six month aging process in third-use Wild Turkey Bourbon barrels imparts flavors of coconut and vanilla and subtle bourbon aromas that are enhanced by a noticeable oak character in the finish. A great accompaniment to fine meals or to be enjoyed on its own, Boont Barl is a truly sessionable barrel-aged beer with finesse.”

Appearance: Pours a murky amber with a large off-white head and spotty lacing.
