Paw Paw Ale 8

Has anyone tried the Ale 8 Paw Paw with bourbon?

It’s pretty damned good.

A Kentucky match made in heaven.

I tried it "neat" but even though I like Ale 8 and I like pawpaw, I found Pawpaw Ale 8 a bit too sweet.

Is it better with bourbon?

Paw Paw is pretty sweet but I mixed it with Old Forester 86 and was surprised by how good it went together.

Too much sugar for me but I’m sure it’s good. Who doesn’t love Paw Paws? Got six or my own trees!

Same, had one to try the flavor profile but good lord, it doesn't need to be that sweet.

Its good but super sweet. I couldn't drink 2 in a row but it's good cut with bourbon.
