Draft - Toasted malts, little bread, caramel and raisin. Cloudy amber with a rich head. Toasted coconut, raisin, light brown sugar and a ver slight bitterness.

This dry barrel offering is poured up on tap into a squat tulip glass at the Wilderness. It pours with a dark clear amber body that supports a thin white head. The aroma offers big sweet bourbon along with vanilla and sweetened oak wood notes. The aroma just bursts out of the glass where I’m getting little of what is a modest base beer aroma. The taste begins with smooth bourbon notes rolling into sweet vanilla and a nice malt sweetened oak note. Well beneath the barrel treatment lurks faint murmurs of the base beer’s dark fruity ester notes. This could have less barrel contact time for me as the modest smooth supple base beer is nearly lost. The barrel though is smooth sweet goodness.
