Specified as the Chardonnay barrel. On tap at Funkwerks. Pours with a hazed golden hued body and a white head. Aromas are a bit grainy, some DMS, spicy, funky, ginger, white wine. Flavors are a touch tart, cherrios (something I get in my young golden sours when I brew), young tasting, cheese, funk, light brett, oak, white wine. Lively bubbles, dry. Young and a bit off.

Tap @ Funkwerks. Darkish red orange appearance with a small off white head. Very nice aroma- dark fruits, oranges, white wine, slightly floral, earthy, mild slices. Floral/lavender, toasty, light caramel, lightly tart, dak citrus fruits, slightly earthy flavor. Quite tasty, easy drinking, flavorful brew.

Well, I am a fan of the original base beer, and this one works quite well - the original is mellow and dry, so this left a lot of room for the barrel to add character - a lot of chard and oak in the nose - the flavor retains the toasted, dry maltiness of the original and the oak plays off of this well - the chard adds some lovely dry tannins to the mix - then lavender from the base beer pushes to the fore in the finish - lightly tart finish, with lingering lavender - well done!
