@PBMichiganWolverine - yeah, I got my hands on a bottle awhile back too. Their bourbon didn’t extract much from the barrels after the beer came out because they only mature the beer for 5-6 months.

@LeeEvolved add injury to insult, that Gingerbread one came in 375ml from what I remember.

I don't care for Bowman's standard expression, but I actually found this one pretty good. Didn't like the first pour but it got better as I got deeper in the bottle.

@PBMichiganWolverine - yeah the gingerbread one was the biggest gimmick to date. A craft brewery in Richmond makes a bourbon barrel aged, gingerbread stout every year for Christmas and it sells like crazy across the entire state and Bowman wanted to capitalize on the beers popularity and work out a deal to have their bourbon barrels used solely for that beer. That said, the beer is fantastic- the bourbon, not so much.

@dhsilv2 @LeeEvolved I can’t believe I paid $100 for their Gingerbread one some years back. I figured I like gingerbread, so why not? In retrospect, worth only a fraction of that price

The non finished stuff is more than decent, this port finish...I have no idea what they were thinking with this one. It's just off putting.

I live here in Virginia, about an hour from the Bowman distillery, and it’s amazing how bad-to-mediocre most of the Bowman stuff is and yet they want premium prices even here.
