On tap at Poor Henry’s, exquisite bourbon-barreled Curieux Tripel infused with muted cane-sugared cold press coffee retains soothingly soft-toned Jim Beam bourbon whiskey warmth and mildly creamed molasses-honeyed sweetness. Floral-perfumed citrus zest upends oaken vanilla, coconut, pecan and tobacco illusions. Delicate Ethiopian coffee bean adjunct fades fast at calming Scotch finish.
On tap at Shepherd & Knucklehead, rich Belgian-styled strong ale aged in bourbon barrels brings sweet brown chocolate spicing to the fore above oats-sugared molasses sentiment and dark-fruited rum spicing. Casual bourbon nip picks up sherry, burgundy and whiskey reminders while ancillary vanilla, coconut and coffee undertones deepen mighty mocha richness.
On tap at Ambulance, dry red wine-barreled Interlude (2015 version) offers moderately vinous green grape esters and brettanomyces-affected farmhouse yeast to sedate residual sugaring. Eye-squinting lemon bittering gains affluence above plum-dried pear, apricot and fig subsidy.
