Abita Bourbon Street Maple Pecan

Bourbon Street Maple Pecan is a nut brown ale that is aged in Bourbon barrels. Abita's Maple Pecan is brewed with a combination of pale, munich, biscuit, and caramel malts. Roasted pecans are also added to the brew for a nutty flavor and aroma. They add maple syrup in the brewhouse as well to give the beer a sweet flavor and full body. After fermentation and aging, the beer is transferred into the bourbon barrels. It is then aged for another 8 weeks to absorb all of the flavors from the barrels. The result is brown ale that blends the light flavors of nuts, maple syrup, and baking bread from the beer with the warming flavors of wood and vanilla from the bourbon barrels.
