On tap at O'Briens San Diego, poured into a goblet.

A: Red-mahogany in color, almost no head or lacing to speak of.

S: Caramelly malts at the forefront of the bouquet, slightly bourbon-y with notes of cherries. Some grassy, grainy notes toward the edges, overall subdued nose.

T/M: More interesting on the palate, oaky and sweet and bourbony. Marichi cherries and sweetbread give the brew it's characteristic features, while bittering hops add balance toward the finish. A light mouthfeel ushers in a short finish with cola-like risiduals be sips.

Never had a barrel-aged amber...not sure there is much comparable data out there, but this is a pretty tasty beverage in itself.

Pours a hazy dark red with a thin, white head. A nice sweet malt smell with a candied fruit. Slight bourbon. This amber ale's taste is sweetened with the bourbon aging. A slight burn due to the bourbon. Vanilla notes and caramel notes sneaking in. A medium body experience.

Perfectly aged, expecting this now from Anderson Valley, another masterful presentation. Bourbon barrel adds another dimension to this already fine amber ale. Woody and smoky, smooth and delicious.
