I've racked a batch of Imperial Brown ale in freshly emptied Bourbon barrels (Heaven Hills, bought from Tom Griffin) last October. The beer was then at 8.5% with a residual 6°Plato. I've topped them recently so I had the chance to taste the product. Though a small dose in a sniffer is something (reeeeally good) I'm afraid that there will be too much of a whiskey character in a full glass. I'm curious to know from those who did similar project, if they'd blend the barreled stuff with regular beer before packaging.
I plan to keg and bottle the product next March
Cheers!
