Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailBishop's Barrel No. 17

Bishop’s Barrel No. 17 pours a mahogany color with ruby highlights. It is a slightly hazy beer with pronounced toffee and honey aromas, and chocolate when it's cold. The smoke from the base beer is subtle, and as it warms up, it becomes more in balance with the rest of the flavors. The wood character blends well with the smoked malt. The whiskey plays the supporting role in this beer. At first sip, the honey and chocolate are well balanced, with the whiskey finishing it off. This is indeed a dessert beer. The smoke provides just enough to balance the sweetness. Perfectly paired with a bar of chocolate smothered in toffee and honey, next to the fire while wearing your finest velvet smoking jacket.
