| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 7, 2008 FoBAB 08. Not sure if I should rate this under this beer or create a new one. I had Cherry Two aged on oak and cherries. Pours murky brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of sour fruit, oak, caramel. Flavor of dark malt, sour cranberries and cherries. I liked it.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 7, 2008 Incredibly well balanced for an oak aged beer. The two has come along nicely and this rendition had a nice tinge of vanilla and vinous oak funk adding to the bitter cranberry flavor. bu11zeye (5698), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 30, 2008 (Draught) Pours a dark murky brown with a creamy medium tan head. Aroma of sour fruit, rye bread, oak, and caramel. Flavor of cranberries, caramel, chocolate, and oak. Tasty! BBB63 (4283), La Porte, Indiana, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 25, 2008 GTMW 2008: Deep brown with an okay head and some lace. The aroma has notes of twangy fruits, caramel malts, toast, vanilla, and oak. The taste is acidic and fruity at first but the barrel influence shows up quickly. A strange allspice finish. The mouth feel is sharp and biting. Okay brew but seems to lack focus. vyvvy (2068), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 23, 2008 GTMW 08 - Pours dark brown with a tan head. The aroma has lots of vanilla, some bourbon and roasty malt. Medium / thick body with sharp carbonation. Starts with a bourbon and cranberry mix that gets quite roasty with the malt. The finish is bitter with some abv and cranberry tartness. Overall this came across quite messy like the flavors hadn’t had a chance to fully blend yet. pantanap (1375), Chicago, Illinois, USA
