Feb 26, 2008 Draft at Winterfest 2008, St. Paul, MN. Bourbon barrel aging aspect is evident in the nose. Caramel hints and alcohol strength. Dark, cloudy reddish brown with orange and yellow hues. Some lace. Not my favorite barrel-aged brew. Nice flavor, just not spectacular.

Feb 22, 2008 Winterfest 2008. Boy was it a treat to get something barrel aged in something other than bourbon! Fruity aroma with cherries and some misc berries over the grape and hints of oak. Similar body with a smooth finish.

Feb 11, 2008 On draught during the Winterfest 2008 in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. Pours a hazy ruby brown brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that dissipates clean. Aroma is quite fruity. Complex with some roasted caramel malt, some flowery hops, cherries, some tropical fruit and a touch of dark berries. Taste is quite smooth, creamy with a fruity malt and berry flavor. Finish is quite sweet, with a dark pitted fruit character in the aftertaste that made this memorable. The alcohol warmth is a nice touch too.

Feb 10, 2008 Winterfest 2008
Very fruity aromas of cherry, plum, blackberry, caramel, with oak secondary. I enjoyed this very much. The flavors all seemed to work well together. Probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite beer of the night.
