Pappy Van Winkle Porter Party Photos
April 24, 2008 11:35 am Beer MusingsDon’t you absolutely adore alliteration? Anyway, Tuesday night was the release of O’Fallon Brewery’s newest beer, Pappy Van Winkle Smoked Porter. Riddle’s Penultimate celebrated the event by purchasing the only keg of the beer. Bill Burge, his lovely wife Ellie, and Mike Leahy joined me for a taste of the draught Pappy Porter on Tuesday evening. I don’t think there was a disappointed one of us, the beer smells of a deep bourbon with a lot of vanilla. In fact, I thought it had so much vanilla nose, that it reminded me a bit of cake batter.
While the price is a bit high ($12 for an 8oz pour?!) this is something to partake while you still have the chance.

If anyone is still looking for this beer, deVine Wines in Valley Park still has 4 or 5 bottles remaining.

That sounds really good. What’s the ABV? I’ve gotten myself into trouble before when bartenders I’ve chatted up have given me a full pint of tasty beer that’s got like a 11% ABV. I’ve never been to Riddles, this looks like a good an excuse as any.

I believe it’s about 7 or 8%.
