10 ounce at the brewery - I must admit I was a little apprehensive about this one, but the barrel-aging doesn't wash out what I enjoy about the base beer, nor does it add undue booziness - it's still got a dry and roasty rich maltiness, but adds some oak and whiskey complexity without becoming boozy or sweet - the whiskey and coffee character of the malt work well together - I like the untreated version better, but this is an interesting diversion from the normal.
