This Belgian-Style Ale has been matured in American and French oak red wine barrels for a year to add layers of complexity to its rich flavor profile of dark fruit and Belgian caramel malts. The oak and red wine flavors imparted by the barrel-aging process blend seamlessly with subtle hints of raisin, plum, and bittersweet chocolate from the beer. Enjoy now or continue to age in a cool, dark place.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber with medium frothy beige head that lasts awhile. The aroma is figs, candy sugar, oak. Thin mouthfeel with sweet candy sugar and light oak and fig. Very good.
