Draught samples at multiple fests, most recently at EBF ’07. Never added it to the database, but since KP did, I guess I’ll rate it
First of all, Triticus is a fantastic beer and was actually aged in 3 different barrels. I’m not a big fan of adding every god damned different barrel-aged version of every beer to the database, but FYI, they also did this in a Buffalo Trace barrel and a gewurztraminer barrel.
The syrah was by far the best, the deep, rich, lightly tart red fruitiness of the wine really complementing the dark chocolate and dry wheat flavors of the base beer. While the bourbon barrel was enjoyable, mostly because the base beer was so enjoyable, I just don’t find bourbon to really complement beer unless used very, very sparingly.

Pours golden with a lacing white head. Aroma of honey, yeast, bread. Taste has full-bodied malt, some caramel, more yeast and bread. Palate is floral, somewhat dry, some lingering hops. Not bad.
