Oregon Trail Bourbon Porter

I got home from work and decided to crack open one of these. Here's the consensus:

Alex thought: A little bit thin. Kind of unique for a "barrel aged beer" in the sense that it's drinkable and only moderately strong. It's got all the things you like about "big beers", but you can drink more of it. Mouthfeel is unique. Not good, not bad, just unique. Very slick, almost oily, and thin. Very appetizing aroma, all sorts of stuff going on in there.

Carla says, "I'm not in the mood to talk about beer, but I could drink more of this..."

I wanted to mention how nicely blended the bourbon flavor is, even freshly bottled. I've had barrel aged beers in the past that needed at least a few months in a bottle to mellow out a bit. It also has a good lingering finish. I can still taste it after about 10 minutes. I'd be interested to see what it tastes like in 6-9 months. Check them out if you're in Corvallis - Oregon Trail Brewery .

They'll be delivering it to us every two weeks as long as they have supply, so if you like it and want cases to lay down give us a call or shoot me an email.

Now it's on to the Phantome Saison that Alex brought over...Have a good night everyone.
