Smell is whiskey, sweet, some dark fruit, rye, oak
Taste is whiskey, caramel, toffee, light vanilla, dark fruit
Mouthfeel is medium
Overall I should have cracked this one when still fresh

750 mL bottle poured into a snifter.
Appearance - Murky deep amber body. Big khaki head and an uneven collar.
Smell - Grapefruit hops. Nutty malts. Light whiskey, but not much.
Taste - Much more rye flavor here. Grapefruit hops. Caramel and brown sugar. Bright fruity flavor to the malts, too. Boozy.
Mouthfeel - Medium heavy. Boozy. Well carbonated.
Overall - The barrel doesn't do a whole lot in this version.
