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!

2006 Bottle - Thanks Ughsmash! - Pours a thin black with a medium beige head...aroma is vanilla oak, caramel and cocoa...flavour is similar, toast, massive wood and sweet creme, chocolate malt and more sweet wood...plenty of unfermented sugars in this, but not sticky, just sweet...the oak is #1 and everything else is secondary in this brew, and I really dug it...

Dark brown almost still pour. Aroma of caramel, toffee, oaky tannins, and chocolate on the nose. Flavor does not live up to the aroma. Flavor is Earthy with notes of toffee, chocolate, vanilla, light bourbon, & toasted hazelnut.

Dark fLat pour barley no head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel choc brown sugars hints of vanilla and a hint of bourban boozy nose. Almost a slight bitter choc in the flavor lots of the oaky bourban comes through And even some darkfruit lot more fizz at the front then expected. Very easy drinking and very yummy!

Dark brown pour with no head. Aroma is brown sugar, vanilla oak, slightly vinous. Flavor is oakey with some vanilla notes and dark fruit, dates ands some dark sugar. The finish is sublime. New flacors of codes and roasty choclate come though. Complex brew. really fantastic

Deep garnet body colour with a shinning surface. Smell of sweet, dark berries with vanilla hints. Spicy and sweet taste of berries and dark fruits from start to finish. Some vanilla hints from the oak barrel. Well integrated alcohol. A tasty drink, full bodied (One-third pint, gravicask, USA bar, GBBF 06.08.2009).

Thanks to DrinknDrive for this trade bottle. Pours dark brown with an off-white head. Nose is nuts, earth, spice, toasted malt, slight vinegar, bitterness, and booze. Flavor is same with some maple, nuts, toasted malt, slight vinegar, booze, and bitterness. Medium-bodied, and ok overall. Disappointing for what the label promised.

Bottle courtesy of markwise. Pours a hazy dark cola brown with reddish highlights and a thin tan head. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of oak, smoke, caramel, light chocolate, grain, anise, brown sugar. Flavor is sweet and malty with earthy notes, caramel, brown sugar, earthy goodness, wood, smoke, anise, light honey and spice notes. Generally medium body with malty sweet finish.

Real solid for sure. Smells of mesquite barbeque smoke, soy sauce and vanilla extract. Coca cola brown with garnet hues and a thin tan head to be delicately slurped. Flavor is rich, woody, earthy minerals and burnt sugar cookie with an alcoholic tacky finish. Interesting brew all around and very satisfying with grilled food for sure. Thanks Allagash. 2008 22 oz. from our boy Scott at Oak Tree Buy Rite.
