Pig in the Wood

Pig in the Wood, Finch's Beer Company, Chicago, IL
(American Strong Ale, Rated 93)

I've been quite impressed with Finch's Beer Company so far. This beer is pretty solid! Categorized as an American Strong Ale, this one pours a deep mahogany with a nice foamy, off white head. Aged for over six months in a local Chicago distillery's Koval whiskey barrels, the whiskey is there in the nose along with caramel sweetness, vanilla, and molasses. Such an amazing aroma. Taste is smooth up front with some of that caramel, toffee, and molasses that gives way to the whiskey flavor that warms and lingers through the finish. Love this beer!
