Dark brown, with a thick head. Smells sort thin and fruity, like it's been fermenting too much in the bottle maybe? Dark fruits, at least. On the palate it's got some acidity, but lots of dark raisiny, prunes and that sort of thing. The barrel character is in there, accenting that deep fruity malt character. To me, this would fit stylistically as an old ale, especially as it turns to dark fruit juiciness more than anything else. Not bad, but not a stellar flavour profile you can really get excited about - just a decent experiment that in all honesty might not be what they were aiming for.
