COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This big, strong, unfiltered ale was brewed with seven different malts and copious amounts of Columbia and Amarillo hops pillowed in the middle to give this warming brew a chewy complex malt body and a unique fruity, juicy hoppiness throughout. This special batch was aged in local Big Bottom Whiskey barrels to impart a depth of flavor.

Tap @ Holiday Ale Fest... Dark amber/brownish with an off-white head. Lots of malt flavor with some hop bitterness. Full bodied, esters, toffee malt, and a little bit of heat towards the end. Not much going on, the barrel aging seemed immature.

PARA (1) - California, USA - JAN 16, 2012 does not count
Enjoyed at the brewpub this past weekend... Upfront floral aroma followed by caramel malts... color gold-orange... hoppy up front, malt backbone, solid brew.
