Notes

-2 weeks in primary
-4 weeks in secondary
-Soak Oak cubes in Bourbon 48 hrs
-Add Bourbon/Oak Cubes at week 2 in secondary

The intense aroma and flavor of toasted American oak and the sweet graininess of good bourbon meld with the bittersweet roastiness of porter to make for a very characterful beer. Recommended: 2-stage fermentation and yeast starter.
