Way back at the start of 2014 i did my first all grain which turned out to be a group brew day between about 6 of us all with our own setups brewing a single beer.We brewed an Old Ale that was aged in a Bushmills whiskey barrel for about ten months. It was bottled up last month and my share was 46 x 500ml of roughly 8% abv barrel aged Old Ale :D It needs a good bit to carb from what the others have said but samples were promising,i just got my share a few days ago but they were stored cold so need at least a couple weeks to carb fully.However not one to wait i just cracked one and it is very lightly carbed which i think suits the style a lot. :D All i can say is OMG what a beer. First impressions it is like drinking a glass of fine sherry,definitely a sipper as i have only got a third into a bottle and i can feel the buzz already,i think that 8% abv is a very reserved estimate tbh,toffee/molasses/caramel/sherry/oak i could go on.So pleased with this brew and defo a special occasion beer i am going to try to get out to a few people in 2015. :D
