Guinness Old Fashioned Inspired Ale | Guinness Open Gate Brewery (Maryland) | Beer Review | #1542

Today, I'm going to review another beer from the Guinness Open Gate Brewery & Barrel House, located in Halethorpe, MD (just outside of Baltimore, MD), and it's their Old Fashioned Inspired Ale. This is an English Barleywine that is aged in bourbon barrels for six months, then finished with orange and sweet cherry purées. They're obviously going for an Old Fashioned in beer form, but did they reach their goal? Let's find out! Commercial Description: We love a cocktail-inspired beer here at the OGB. This time around, we bring back an experiment we launched initially more than two years ago - a Barrel-Aged Old Fashioned-Inspired Ale. We start with an English Barleywine, age it in bourbon barrels for six months, then finish the beer with sweet cherry and orange purees. The result is exactly what you'd expect - rich malt characters of toffee and raisin, warming vanilla and oak, and just a touch of the classic orange and cherry found in the cocktail.
