The bourbon stout that I brewed at the end of May just took first in the wood-aged category at the Oregon State Fair. This is my second first place ribbon and was my best effort yet for best-in-show. Maybe next year. The beer is a foreign extra stout (7.5%) that I conditioned for two weeks with bourbon barrel char. I will definitely be making this recipe again! Here I am about to drink the last glass from the keg. Fortunately I bottled some to enjoy through the dark of winter. Click on the photo to see a few others. Prost!
