This continent-spanning collaboration was aged in WhistlePig Estate Rye whiskey barrels with added single-origin French oaks for twelve months, and finished Sur Lie for an additional six in freshly dumped French oak red wine barrels from Herman Story Wines. A vortex of vinous, lumber-derived cherry, vanilla, smoke, and disturbed earth emanate from a swirled glass in this, our most wood-focused beer to-date. "How come all you guys sit on your helmets?"

Thin body which should surprise nobody, sweet, boozy, oily. Cane sugar syrup, oak, raisin, vanilla, vinous and rich. Pretty complex and layered but stays in balance, very nice.

Too easy to drink as always from rev, super smooth BiL with hints of red wine fruitiness and tannins on the nose and front, then a delicious truck load of caramel and dates arrives.
