From the brewer

Our Angel’s Share is a barrel aged burgundy colored ale infused with copious amounts of dark caramel malt to emphasize the vanilla and oak flavors found in freshly emptied bourbon barrels. Each batch spends no less than 12 months aging in the oak. As with all of our beers, this beer is brewed for sinners and saints alike. So be an angel and share it with a friend or two.

In celebration of 1,000 unique beers, a special one. The vintage was rubbed off of the bottle, unfortunately, but this bottle was a gift from last year. Thanks, Alex! The immediate comparison is with Stickee Monkee - lots of toffee and plum and wood. This was a bit more tannic and the finish quite dry, which I think puts this lower in sheer enjoyment, but it was complex, very tasty, and worth sipping slowly.

Awesome, smooth, bourbon flavors with maltiness. Very very similar to Fred from the Wood (did a side by side taste test).
