Bourbon Barrel Aged "Bad Moon Risin" at Davinci

Boulder Brewing made one of those serendipitous mistakes that turned into gold when they produced the "Bad Moon Risin'.  I place it in parenthesis because apparently the brewery was issued a Cease and Desist by a Maryland brewery who owned the name and summarily changed it to "Black IPA".  There was so little of it, who cares.  The point is that the original "Bad Moon Risin' was an unbelievably delicious and boozy 10% black IPA that occurred when a brewer accidentally placed some black malt on top of the Mojo Risin IPA and created this dark, roasty, hoppy brew.

No matter anyway, since we only got two 5 gallon kegs of it in Florida with no promise of it going much further than that.  If you remember, we reviewed this a bit ago when a select two bars got the early edition of Bad Moon Risin' and we drowned our happiness in its' deliciousness.

So I got word a bit ago that they had held some back and aged it in Bourbon Barrels.  Whaaaaaaaaat?

We distributed these two kegs to two of our favorite Florida locations - The Ale and the Witch in St. Petersburg and Cafe Davinci in DeLand.  Renegade Vinnie was lucky enough to work The Ale and the Witch event which actually occurred during the New Moon.  The second keg, the one at Davinci is laying in wait.  Keep your eyes peeled and "yaw eah to the groindstone" and we'll announce the tapping at Davinci.  Cheers!
