Feb 4, 2008 Updated: Feb 6, 2008You know what I hate? When brewers soak thier beer in wood chips soaked in something else. I love barrel-aged brews, but think that the practice of putting wood chips in beer is amateur. Do you ever see this practice going over in the wine or spirits world? Anyway, too much whiskey soaked firewood chips in this one. Not a fan.

Jan 28, 2008 This is definitely less hoppy than the normal Rye2. The whiskey wasnt overpowering. While this was a fairly solid aging job, I think I prefer the regular version better.

Jan 27, 2008 Cask Ale tasting. Spike did well with this one. I agree with Hank that it should be bottled. An overall great ale, with the vanilla just enough to tickle your fancy

Jan 27, 2008 Tasted at Cask Ale Atlanta. My favorite of the 20 brews I tried. Aroma of oak, vanilla, & oatmeal cookies (maybe I was hungry). Taste was nice and smooth, not as hoppy as the regular Rye2. Vanilla and bourbon notes in the flavor. Very unique and enjoyable brew. The only one I tried more than once at the tasting. Hopefully they consider bottling this.

Jan 27, 2008 On cask at Atlanta Cask Ale Tasting. One of the more entertaining oak aging jobs at the fest. I remember the original being much more hoppy and the rye coming through a little more as well. Either the oak aging or the time has muted the hops from the original. Still really nice oak and vanilla aromas and flavors.
