For Bug specifically, I seem to remember you used the AHS Oaked Bourbon stout kit. How did that one turn out for you?

It turned out very good. My only complaint was very low carbonation. I added 8 oz. of Woodford reserve. I also aged it in a 5 gallon balcones whisky barrel. I think the high alcohol content and the addition of whiskey caused the yeast to be spent, therefore not much carb in the bottles. IT is still delicious though.

I consider closer to a sipping whiskey. It is great for a cold day. I have 3 big bottles, and 3 12 oz. left in the beer fridge, aging.
