Chestnut Double Barrel-aged Wooden Cleat is our 13.5% blend of the same barleywines that were aged for five months in Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon Barrels before being transferred to a new toasted Chestnut Puncheon to double barrel age for an additional 10 months. After the double barrel it was allowed to cold condition for an extended period. The result is an equally complex beer filled with caramel, and vanilla flavors balanced by sweet toffee notes from the chestnut.

Ours very dark, zero head. Aroma is dark fruits, mainly raisins and dates. Flavor is mocha up front with a nice dark fruit component taking over quickly. Not overly sweet. Carbonation adds to a creamy texture. Overall a very nice beer, love the 250 ml format, wish they continued it…

Like the regular Wooden Cleat, this features raisin and molasses, but they aren't as intense, not even close. Caramel and toffee fill the void. The honey is stronger and the extra wood is kind of nutty and tastes a bit like a humidor smells. This has some praline vibes. I'm having this side by side with the regular version. Tasted alone I'm guessing I would score this higher.
