Dark Belgian style ale aged in wine barrels. Aged for a year in Oregon Pino Noir barrels, our dark Belgian-style ale develops complex flavors reminiscent of dried fruit, vanilla and sherry. The French Oak provides tannic counterbalance to the syrupy dark candi sugar. And like its unaged counterpart, the vibrant reddish black hue, substantial body, and pleasant headiness give it an alluring first impression -- but watch your back; this beer has done hard time.
