Brewers' Notes: Remember Bison Penny? Our 200th batch? No? That's okay, we made a lot of beers this year. Anyway, we sure remember it, and we made sure we would by aging a whole bunch of it in amber rum barrels, and now it's ready for us all to enjoy! And enjoy we shall - the barrels (which, as we're learning, is par for the course around here) add not-insubstantial vanilla character, but there's also a bit of sugarcane sweetness and just a *hint* of added heat that really round out any rough edges this beer might have had. In other words: it's a tasty treat and we think you'll enjoy it!
