Beer reviews: Grid City Maple Whiskey Barrel Aged Imperial Brown Ale and Epic Small Batch Series Powder Panic

Grid City - Maple Whiskey Barrel Aged Imperial Brown Ale : This Imperial Brown ale is aged in maple syrup barrels that had previously held bourbon or rye whiskey. From the very first swirl of the glass, this beer has an unmistakable bourbon presence. The aroma rises—rich, warm, and inviting.
