Poured from a bottle dated 2014. Aroma is rather fruity with a moderately strong cherry note and some lighter tropical fruit. Some light red wine and oak notes. Faint berries and light citrus. Pours a hazy, pale orange with some pink and red hues and a medium sized, somewhat thin, white head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers for a bit. No lacing and small legs. Flavor is moderately acidic with quite a bit of citrus. Some medium light cherry notes and light tropical fruit. Medium light red wine and oak notes. Medium bitterness and some tannins. Finishes with a bit of acidity and some light tannins. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium light carbonation. Low astringnecy and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright beer with nice fruit notes. Some good character from the wine barrels as well. Falls a bit flat on the finish. Nice, but not quite perfect. Flavor is a bit weird.

Draft - Oak, cherry, sweet and tart. Cloudy copper with a decent white head. Lots if wood, light bitterness and cherries are lost. Smells so much better than the taste.

On tap @ 4 Hands. Pours a copper orange appearance with a white head. Kind of oaky, a bit oaky, tannic nose. Heavy coconut, vanilla, oaky flavor with some cherry and grape notes. The oak is really heavy. Softly tart. Enjoyable.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy reddish amber with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of cherry pie with a bit of tartness and some light spice and cinnamon backing. Flavor has sweet cherries, grains and light cinnamon with only a hint of tartness.
