Nov 20, 2008 on draft at Trappeze in Athens. Lots of caramel with subdued hops. evidence of bitterness as it warms, but smooth on palate with hops in the aftertaste. Crazy lacing. Wood flavor balances the perfectly along with the carbonation. Alcohol is also balanced well. Overall, one of the best wood aged beers, as well as one of the best beers, I have had. This pint was truly heaven in a glass. I can honestly say this is the best beer I have had.

Nov 19, 2008 Sampled at the 2008 Great American Beer Festival. Amber color with some modest carbonation and a faint light beige head. Mild but spicy hop aroma with some rye noticeable. Nice hoppy flavor with notes of vanilla and subtle oak barrel with faint caramel. Easy finish that makes for good drinkability. Pretty good.
