Goodwood Honey Ale Barrel Finished Kentucky Straight, 45%
Price: $87 ● Issue: Fall 2021 ● Reviewer: David Fleming
Licorice, root beer, and ripe dark fruit aromas, with dried tobacco leaf, savory musty oak, and cedar wood. The palate is closed at first, but then lets fly with a peanut blast—peanut oil and peanut butter, with peppery spice and bitter espresso. Water releases fresh grapes and red apples, with the spice lingering. The finish offers roasted peanuts and pleasant earthiness. Unusual, but appealing.
