Bourbon Barrel Aged Grand Cru by Black Diamond

Bourbon Barrel Aged Grand Cru at 8% ABV is a Dubbel style Grand Cru made by Black Diamond brewing company.The ale is made with 75% fruit and vanilla and 25% bourbon. This beer was a birthday gift from my brother. LOL Thanks bro. The origins of the Grand Cru as stated in the label:
=================
The designation of “Grand Cru” originates from the Burgundy region of France. Brewers have taken the term and applied to it more elaborate, aged and reserved versions of their beers. Our Belgian-style Dubbel -a great beer itself with a loyal following- has been taken to the next level by the careful blending and aging techniques

=================
Wow, first sip of this beer is like dark fruit jolt with oaky banana, cinnamon, caramel and eathy after taste. The vanilla and minor bourbon flavor mix for a unique flavor that reminds me of that Capn Morgans Tattoo Rum, except for the strong alcohol. Quite the pleasant berry and chocolate flavors mix of this one. It is more sweet without alot of bourbon as other beers I have had. I think the fruit overwhelms more than the alcohol but for those that life that in beers then this will be the one to try.
