Tap at the brewery - had to let this get to room temp - cold it was boozy as hell - dark ruby with a soapy head - low carbonation - barrel adds a nice vanilla and toasted coconut character that compliments the base beer pretty well (sits well with the darker malts) - moderate brandy character - some black.cherry - dough and spicy oakiness finish, with a light.boozy.warmth - body could use a little more heft, but this is their best barrel-aged product so far.
