Weyerbacher can do some magical things with oak barrels. A couple of weeks ago, Heresy (Old Heathen Stout aged in Kentucky bourbon) came back to the shelves. Joining Heresy is Insanity.
Insanity is a barleywine, namely Weyerbacher’s Blithering Idiot aged in oak bourbon. Blithering Idiot is full of caramel malts, subtle alcohol (for being 11%), slightly sweet, slightly fruity. After the oak aging, Insanity carries those elements from the barleywine plus vanilla, bourbon, and oak. I’ve become a huge fan of oak aged beers.
