Odravein Bourbon BA is a limited release from Põhjala Brewery’s Cellar Series, created as a barrel-aged interpretation of their barley wine style. After fermentation, the beer is aged in bourbon barrels, absorbing pronounced notes of vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and warm alcohol.
The base offers a rich malt profile with flavors of caramelized sugar, dried fruit, and dark chocolate, while the bourbon aging adds depth and a long, warming finish. The texture is thick and oily, with low carbonation that highlights the full body and slow-drinking character.
The aroma reveals a mix of bourbon sweetness and mature fruit, complemented by subtle hints of coffee and praline. This is a beer meant to be savored slowly, resembling a digestif or dessert wine rather than a traditional beer.
Due to its high alcohol content and structure, it is suitable for cellaring and further flavor development over time. Odravein Bourbon BA reflects Põhjala’s approach - combining Nordic identity, experimentation, and precise brewing technique - placing it firmly in the premium barrel-aged segment.
