[On-tap at Fitgers] Pours deep brown with a small beige head. Big barrel influence in the nose blends with raisin and black cherry. Taste has raisin, chocolate, alcohol (fairly well hidden, unlike in the aroma), wood, notes of blackberry and caramel. Barrel is huge in the taste too. Thick mouthfeel, smooth, long finish. Almost too much barrel--became the main element instead of a compliment. The bartender said that this was aged in bourbon barrels, but it seemed different than most bourbon barrel aged beers I’ve had...almost more like it was placed in a JD barrel.
