On tap at First Draft, pours a hazy amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out toasted bready malt, perfume and light toffee. Flavour is very unusual, with perfume, light red wine and bready malt. Not really a good use of barrel aging. Meh.

Tap - I think I have certain expectations when I see "red wine barrel aged red," and this beer doesn’t meet any of them, so I’ve got to get past that to review it fairly, maybe? - it really is a straight up amber Aged in wine barrels, and as that, it’s actually pretty good - nose is subtle bread and moderate oak, with touches of red wine - moderately hoppy up front, toasty maltiness - the barrel brings gentle oak and a medium sweet red wine character - finish of toasty malt and lingering wine, with maybe a subtle funkiness to it - I like it enough to be curious to try some of their other beer.
