The great philosopher Pliny the Elder referred to the early blooming peach tree as Praecocia; years later these fruit were recognized not as peaches, but apricots. We took those apricots and added them to a bold, bourbon barrel aged old-ale. The beer, rich in flavors of burnt sugar and toffee, blends seamlessly with the musky, summer-like experience that the apricots supply.

    Hmmm. Not a lot of old ale to be had here, but the flavors and aromas left are quite interesting. I've never had a beer that smells so much like one thing and tastes like another, with each only having hints at the other. Smells like a wild ale...sour and acidic, fruity apricot/apple with a little vanilla and bourbon underneath. But the script is flipped in the flavor, being more sweet barrel, then fruit, with only a hint of the funk that promised to deliver big in the nose. It was almost like drinking two beers. Unique and tasty. Even though it was a gusher, the feel was actually quite nice and shows that every Bruery barrled beer doesn't have to at least 15% :)

    5oz taster -

    On tap at 10 East. The beer has a murky brown body, minimal khaki head. Aroma has multiple layers. French toast, buttery, apricots, molasses, and oak. Caramel apple flavors dipped in apricot syrup, vanilla, and alcohol. Seems a bit unbalanced, but there's enough going on that I enjoyed it.
