It’s barrel aged for roughly one year and every vintage is different. Cellar for two to four years, depending on vintage.

On-Tap at Bailey's Taprooms poured into Nonic glass.

Pours a murky dark amber with a finger of off-white head that is quick to dissolve and leave a medium ring around the glass. Aroma is tart fruit with a slight funk. Flavor is sweet and tart with some bitterness, a little wood and finishes dry. Its medium bodied a nice effervescence. Really enjoyed this, I thought there would be more oaky flavors and funk and less tartness but I was pleasantly surprised.

750 bottle pour into a tulip glass. Deep brown, slightly hazy off white pillowy head which lasts for a while. Smell is tart whiskey with hint of spice. Taste is chocolate toffee, vanilla, whiskey, with a slight tart finish, dry. Nice medium body with complex flavors. Solid but not amazing.

Not sure of the vintage, but believe it might have been the 2012. Pours a hazy amber-brown with a light tan head. Nose is very much reminiscent of pumpkin pie - it reminds me very much of a winter warmer. Taste is also similar to a winter warmer; however, there's also a peppery quality and the grains of paradise are also discernible in the spice and malt profile. Mouthfeel is light-medium in body with an easy carbonation. Overall, I'm not really clear on how this beer can be classified as a farmhouse ale. In that regard, it falls a bit short; however, as a winter warmer, it's quite pleasing.
