Rich, deep and warming, our barrel aged scotch ale has the luxury of bourbon, molasses and oak aromas, with the rich taste of vanilla and caramel. Having been patiently sitting in the wood for nearly a year, this beer is more than worth the wait.

From bottle to tulip. Pours murky brown with almost no head. Leaves a very slight light tan, intermittent collar.Taste is slight spice. Flavor is a little muddled with caramel and toffee. A little butterscotch. The barrel and the scotch ale don't seem to marry well - as there is really not much malt to be found. There is something close to woody-oxidation here, but I cannot quite place it. Almost no carbonation - which is OK to style.

Bottle. Pours hazy mahogany, small beige head, dissipates fairly quickly, good lacing. Aroma is toffee, dates, whiskey, brown sugar. Flavor is medium sweet, light bitter. Medium body, low carbonation. Base not holding up to treatment in the barrel.
