A: One finger head over a chestnut body. Moderate sheeting and splotchy lacing.
S: Nutty with figs, raising and cranberry. Toffee and the occasional whiff of ground coffee.
T: Caramel and toffe. Vanilla, cola, cherry candy. Displays a deft hand with the barrel.
M: Medium high carbonation. Medium light, well attenuated body. Long warming finish.
O: Very interesting to see the barrel influence in this style. Subtle but clearly present. A very well done beer.

Local 11, a 100% barrel-aged, bottle-refermented ale. Their Local 2 aged in 20-year Pappy Van Winkle barrels... $44 at Eleven Madison Park. 9% alcohol, 750-ml bottle.
Appearance: Served in a snifter, and poured by myself to avoid the excessive foam the server was creating, Local 11 comes with one finger of very carbonated head that dies right away, leaving some lacing and a white mantle on top of the deep walnut-colored brew.
Smell: Like Christmas! Spice, chestnut, mulled wine. Cloves, richness, fireplace. Gentle bourbon, brown sugar. Outrageous! Intoxicating, delicious booze at the end.
Taste: Caramel, coffee-and-cream, nuts, chestnut puree. Frangelico. European chocolate, not sugary but slightly bitter and malty- for adults, this ain't Hershey's! Lots of sediment.
Mouthfeel: Very well balanced, with full body, carbonation and flavor. Smooth all around, a pleasure.
Overall: This is barrel-aging at its best. Smooth, balanced, well done. Super drinkable to boot and just all around gorgeous. Can't wait to revisit soon..
