Bottle from Secret Santa. Dark brown color. Malt, butterscotch, oak and dried fruit in the aroma. Malty sweet, oky, alcoholic flavor. Full bodied. The oak and bourbon notes dominate. Long oaky finish, with a firm dry out effect.

Bottle thanks to Cfrancis. Pours dark brown with tan head. Nose/taste of raisin, grape, dark fruit, splintered oak, bourbon and vanilla. Body is on the lighter side of medium - a little too light for this kind of barrel treatment. Bourbon/raisin finish.

On tap at Winter Warmer: Poured an amber color ale with a small foamy head. Aroma consists of vanilla and wood with some nice touch of bourbon and caramelized malt. Taste is a nice mix between some vanilla and medium bourbon notes with some caramelized malt and light toffee notes with some oak also noticeable. Body is about average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very well balanced with some complexity while being easily drinkable.
