Draft/Fest. A- Cherry, oak. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, beige head. T- Cherry, oak, cocoa. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Really light and the JD barrels give plenty of cherrywood and oak and a touch of vanilla flavor but otherwise a bit weak. The barrel definitely helps the base beer.
