Deep amber pour with a small off-white head. Caramel, honey, vanilla aromas with a pretty similar taste. Something a little wierd in there that I’m not really too keen on.... perhaps it’s the barrel-aged aspect. Well-hidden alcohol.

Dec 20, 2009 22 oz. bottle from Ballard Market. Bought as a pair with Southern Tier Cuvee Series 1 and I must say it doesn’t hold a candle to the first one. Though I can’t nail the genus exactly, I get some very strong woodsy (pine needle?) flavor. Not at all like the smooth, mellow, barley wine flavor I got from Series 1. Not bad, just... different.

Dec 19, 2009 Bottle: Amber in color, a little fiery, moderate to thin off-white head, sparce lacing. Sweet oaky nose. Almost has some cedar aspects. Warming strong maltiness on first sip. Not as sweet as what the nose plays off. Just seems like a semi-sweet heavily oak ladden Strong Ale. Underlying beer is uncertain. Comes across as an American Strong, but seems a little non-descripte because all I get is this sweet oak. Very minor Vanilla and Toffee. Body and mothfeel are moderate to full. Feels a little thick. Not as complex as I would have thought. Pretty simple, and unfortunately a bit uninteresting.

Dec 17, 2009 Oak aged. Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a red-orange color with a small beige head. The aroma was molasses, fruits, ginger, caramel and rum. The flavor was caramel, molasses, ripe fruits, wood, rum, cocoa and ginger. There is a long finish that turns bitter. Thick but a bit boozy. Nice.

Dec 13, 2009 A Mes rate. Bottle at Borefts 10am day after hotel tasting.
Amber colour with a very slight haze and a good off white head. Sweet caramel with some nice roast and smoky notes. Plenty of oak, some vanilla and burnt sugar. Late hops calm it down a little. Plenty of heat. A little too sweet overall. Not the best from ST but still a good beer.

Dec 5, 2009 Pours a deep amber mahogany with almost no head. Aroma is of black licorice, toffee, dark fruits, and hints of vanilla. Taste is of toffee, blackberries, vanilla, and oak. Heavy mouthfeel with a long finish. Definitely not watery.
