8 ounce at the brewery - hazy dark amber - nose is heavy on the whiskey and oak, with mild oxidation - hard to tell the character of the base beer (like, I wouldn’t be able to guess what the style was) - flavor is also heavy of the whiskey and some papery oxidation character - watery in texture and thin in flavor outside of the whiskey and oxidation - some hints of the potentially rich maltiness of the base beer underneath - would like to try the non- barrel-treatment for comparison - this is meh.
