West Sixth Brewing, a Kentucky-based brewery, has teamed up with fellow Kentucky company Bulleit Frontier Whiskey to develop a unique brown ale that combines the best of both companies' offerings.
The Bourbon Barrel Brownie is an imperial brown ale that is reminiscent of milky brownies as well as the signature flavor that Bulleit has made a name for itself ever since it was founded in 1987. Aged in Bulleit's bourbon barrels, this particular brown ale also features ample use of cacao, giving it a rich and creamy feel that makes it the consummate Christmas beverage.
Available as a limited edition offering in select outlets, the Bourbon Barrel Brownie beers are available for purchase in four-packs of 12-ounce cans for a price of $11.99.
