COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Late this year we plan to release a second beer in the Barrel Aged series... a dark, 10% wheat beer. We have been aging a portion of the beer in New American Medium Toast Oak, and a portion in Stainless steel. We will then blend the beers to taste, and bottle condition. The beer will have spent over 6 months aging in the oak and steel at the brewery!

beernbourbon (914) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - DEC 14, 2011
Bottle shared at STL RB gathering. Pour is brown with a light tan head. Aroma is light rye-like malt, faint smoke and a light sweet note. Flavor is also spicy-sweet rye, faint smokey and roasted malt and a touch of sweet coffee in the finish. The finish is long nad smooth. Better than expected.

A strong cinnamon aroma. A dark color with a hint of red and a brown head. A sour taste with a slight bitter taste at the end. A oily slick feeling. Overall a pleasant clean Ale.

jandd1983 (712) - Florissant, Missouri, USA - DEC 3, 2011
Sampled at the St. Louis RB gathering. It poured a reddish black color with a small off-white head. The aroma was of vanilla, whiskey, dark fruits and oak. The flavor was of coffee, spices, molasses, and lots of oak. A very good Belgian Strong Ale.

seymour (571) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - DEC 3, 2011
Sampled at the Saint Louis Ratebeer Gathering in a tulip glass, thanks Dan! Poured an attractive dark copper with a little haze, long-lasting white foam and nice lacing. Aroma of wood and woodsy hops, loads of caramel, whole wheat bread, holiday spice cake, few hops but interesting yeast esters. Good bottle-fermentation characteristics. The flavor, sadly, was just a bland strong amber ale. What’s up? Light-medium body, average mouthfeel and finish. Kinda boring result after all the work they put in.

gpekar (389) - Maryland, USA - OCT 29, 2011
Poured a dark mahogany brown with a short brown head. The head disappeared to just a film very quickly. The aroma was mild and had hints of wine, milk chocolate and molasses. The initial taste of the beer revealed a good amount of effervesence from a good bit of carbonation. There was also a pleasant alcohol flavor that lent a bit of tartness along with the carbonation. Flavors of milk chocolate and caramal malt were light in the middle. The finish had a nice alcohol warmth as the flavors just mellowed away.
