Barrel Aged Kentucky Common Wyld Ale with peach tea and mint added

Kentucky common aged fourteen months in third use bourbon barrels before a twelve hour steep on peach tea and fresh mint. This iteration used Willett barrels that previously held beer from our Spirit Barrel Program. It has a noticeable robust backbone with round acidity, notes of cantaloupe, early stone fruit, vanilla and char.

(Tap sample @ MBCC 2017 Red Session, Copenhagen) Pours slightly murky amber with a small white head. Notes of quite sweet peaches, fresh flowers, iced tea, mint, tart citrusy edge, herbs, soft malt. Overall balance is moderately sweet through the sip finishing dry, a bit astringent and woody, and lightly tart. Light to medium body, osft carbonation. Surprising to me, very iced tea-like, additions are largely the reason I guess. Not terribly familiar with the style but this was solid and refreshing.
