Enjoyed on tap at the Autumn Brew Review, from notes.

Pour was a reddish haze of amber with a finger of creamy foam. Smell was biscuit and bready malt, caramel, dark fruit, oak, lightly vanilla.

Taste started with a nice base of honey sweetness, biscuit and bready malt, honey-nut-caramel and peach, then a very pleasant oaky-vanilla tone from the wood.

Medium bodied with light-moderate carbonation.

This is an already decent beer that has been barrel aged to add some subtle complexity. Not at all overpowering in the whiskey department. Very nice.

Serving type: on-tap

(Served in a Nonic)
A- This beer pours a slightly hazy brown body with a spongey beige head that last and last sticking to the glass in clouds. There is a gentle carbonation gliding up the sides.

S- The slightly sweet rum and sugar aroma has a green hop aroma that lingers. There is an odd blue cheese and peat note that grows in the finish.

T- The sweet oak and caramel flavor has a slightly sulfury green hop note that is soft in the finish with a bigger bitterness that lingers.

M- The medium-light mouthfeel has no alcohol heat.

O- This beer has some nice oak flavors but the sweetness really grows too sweet and the bitterness that tries to balance it is too harsh and abrasive. There is balance but both of the dominate flavors are too over the top to really enjoy.

Serving type: bottle
