Tulip at the brewery - 2015 stated aged in a Kentucky Whiskey barrel - there was another version on tap from a Colorado Whiskey barrel - not sure if these are different entry worthy - anyway, deep black with a soapy tan lace - nose of toasted coconut, vanilla, chocolate - flavor is fairly sweet and heavy on the barrel - a lot of toasty oak and whiskey - not necessarily a bad thing if you like whiskey, as I do - fairly smooth despite this, but kind of sticky/sugary - still pretty tasty.
