Sample at the Eurostash II tasting on 12/12/09: Thanks to JaBier for sharing bottle #35/156. The beer pours a clear amber-orange color with a medium thin and fluffy off-white head that diminishes slowly. Rings of lacing on the glass. Grapefruit and hops aroma. Medium body with a moderately bitter hops character and flavors of citrus, pine and caramel malt. The finish is piney with a lingering hops aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

courtesy of Markwise. notes of barrel though not overdone but keeping enough character to add a nice warming mouthfeel. Vanilla, chocolate malts, light bitter finish that is quickly followed by barrel goodness.

courtesy of Markwise pours reddish, no head. aroma and flavor, loads of cherries / mild cherry tartness. Barrel on this one was rather enjoyable, not overdone, lingering chocolate malts, and dark fruits; currants. Cabernet adds a nice warming abv and grape like mouthfeel that blends perfectly with the barrel. Another tasty treat by Jackie-O

courtesy of Markwise. pour golden, white head. aroma / flavor, nice combo between the oak aged wood, and fruit tartness of orange, end with mild bitterness. Orange were spot on in the aroma, but the flavor was a little off to my taste. Still a good use of orange, and oak wood.

courtesy of jw77. pours orange, no head aroma lots of raspberries but mostly covered by the bourbon. Flavor, definitely bourbon in, blends quite well with the raspberry tartness, some roasted malts, light bitter finish. A little too one dimensional, bourbon might be over the top on this one.
