Waited a long time to taste this one, and finally did, after a ten-year plus aging period. Boy was that a fine idea - this was an excellent beer. The vanilla flavor was the predominant one, but I also got plenty of the oak from the barrel. The golden ale hadn't gotten overly sweet despite being 11% ABV, and this one really felt like a nicely aged beer should. Doubt I'd be able to wait that long again if I found another bottle out there somewhere, but I'll certainly look.

Bottle #4662 4/20/09
Poured in to a tulip, slightly hazed copper color. No head. Looked under carbed.
Aroma had strong notes of vanilla and oak. Malty sweet. Slightly raiseny and light honey.
Taste was malty, floral and sweet. Light caramel and honey. Some good amounts of vanilla and oak. Somewhat chewy in the finish. Moderate signs of ABV.
Mouthfeel was medium/heavy body, low carb and chewy/sticky finish.
Decent overall. Probably aged past its prime. Flavors are blended, but almost overly sweet. Still enjoyable

Thanks Ben for this one! Served in a tapered pint glass, it's a bright golden orange, thin layer of white foam that leaves a little bit of spotty lace in the glass.
Toffee, almond, sawn wood, presumably oak.
Dry oak tannin, sweet malty flavors of toffee, almond and vanilla from the wood. Full bodied and smooth, light lingering bitterness. Balanced but showing its age now, three years and counting. Still enjoyable but smoke em if ya got em.
