Rhinegeist- Cincinnati (by way of Kenny’s Market in Columbus)
BIG WILLY - BOURBON BARREL AGED WEE HEAVY
“Big Willy is as gentle a giant as ever roamed a heath. Brimming with Honey Malt and Chocolate Wheat, the weighty stride of this Wee Heavy Ale is softened by a stint in freshly used bourbon barrels. The result is a flavorful footprint of toasted oak, rich toffee and vanilla. Fee-fi-fo-yum.”
ABV: 12.1%
Aged: 12 Months in Bourbon Barrels
Hops: Magnum, Glacier
Malts: Maris Otter, Pale Chocolate, Melanoidin, Crystal Dark, Carafa 2
Another excellent big beer from Rhinegeist. This has aged a while too, 2019. They use barrels from New Riff a local distillery. Rich, malty, hint of chocolate, hint of oak, balanced with the bourbon. Cat3.
