5 ounce at the brewery - clear medium amber - nose of vanilla, oak, whiskey - flavor is much the same - I mostly taste the spirit and barrel along with some light caramelized maltiness - so it tastes like the base beer maybe wasn’t robust enough to hold up to the barrel treatment, as it appears to be totally swallowed up in the barrel character - meh.
