Cellar Reserve 2009

North Coast Brewing’s Old Stock Ale Cellar Reserve is a special batch of its award-winning Old Stock Ale. The vintage 2009 brew has been aged for 18 months in oak Bourbon barrels and is one of the most exciting beers we’ve produced since we began our barrel-aging program back in 1998. Old Stock Cellar Reserve is bottled in a distinctively decorated 500 ml bottle with a cork and wire finish and is available in a limited number of distributors in select markets.

Appearance: Pours a dark mahogany with a dancing seltzer like head that quickly dissapears to nothing. You can see little bubbles rising to the top well after the pour, this thing looks pretty carbonated. It gave a nice pop when I opened it. The bear doesn’t anything on the sides of the glass either.
