We aged our 10th anniversary beer in second-use High West Rye Whiskey barrels for close to a year, adding waves of oak and vanilla to the sherry/toffee/caramel profile of this old ale.

On tap at DRBT 10. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is dark fruit, wood, rum, cocoa. Slick body, caramel, vanilla, raisin, wood, boozy finish, very good.

On tap at a Front Street Taproom, pours a cloudy dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out plenty of rum barrels, with oak and vanilla. Flavour is along the same lines, with loads of rum upfront, accentuated by vanilla and a touch of oak. Quite sweet and rum-dominated without being boozy. Good stuff.

Lucky Bamboo bottle share. Pours a deep copper with a finger of eggshell colored head. Rum-forward nose with coconut, creamy oak, milk chocolate and toasted caramel. Pretty boozy on the palate, with creamy and sweet notes. Finish leaves an oaky, creamy lingering flavor. Might need a little more time to age. --- Beer merged from original tick of Ten - Barrel Aged on 27 Jan 2018 at 18:44 - Score: 8

Tap at the brewery. Deep ruddy reddish brown with a filmy beige head. Medium to full bodied. The aroma is malty rich caramel while the taste is rum for days, ultra malty and yet smooth and balanced.
