Draft at Liar’s, Alpine. It finally looks like the boys at Strauss are putting out some nice brews. I believe this had a barrel aged tag in the title. This did lend a nice oaky aspect to the already tasty blend of dark berries and sticky tartness. I like it...

On tap at Liar’s Club in Alpine, CA. Relatively still with little carbonation and an opaque mahogany color with no head. The nose is a sweet blend of black currants, molasses, smoke and juniper berries with a slightly tart character. The flavors are raisin, brown sugar and caramel followed up by a medium funky sourness and a slightly acidic finish.
