Crimson creamy head. Nose is sweet like almost tart nose with a candy like oak. Taste is fairly bland. Alt presence comes in strong, sticky dank icky piney notes and an English barleywine malt and yeast presence. Finish is minor ash with lots of residual sweetness and cheap candy

Draft at the Encinitas Ale House - Encinitas, CA. Pours clear amber with a foamy, tan head. Interesting stuff. Lots of ripe, tangy fruits, a bit of hot alcohol, wet wood. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish with prominent barrel character, wet wood, more tangy fruits. OK but a touch heavy handed.
