’14 vintage on draft at the Taphouse. Murky brown pour, small, soft beige head. While not overpowering, the barrel is immediately evident in the aroma. Kind of boozy. Lots of malt too. Kind of sweet. Plenty warm. Finishes kind of fast though, sweet on the palate, fire in the gut.

Dark brown with a reddish hue. Draft poured with no head. Barrel aging more noticeable in taste than nose. Sweet with medium body and light carbonation. Notes of dried fruit with a balanced bitter finish.

10 oz tap for $8 at red cow St. Paul.
A-big dense tan sticky head. Translucent dirty amber.
S-powerful oak. Can tell this beer spent a long time in the barrel. Some funky sourness, rich sweet malt. Nice complexity.
T-similar to the aroma. Lots of woody oak, with some tannins. It is the dominant taste on top of a marshmallow sweet toasted malt bomb.
M-velvety smooth, very light carbonation with no alcohol burn until it hits the belly.
O-a big oaky old ale. Pretty delightful.

$13.99 for the Howler at Liquor Shed.
It pours a clear bronze with an inch of off white foam and lots of nice lacing.
It smells malty, with notes of oak and a bit of Brett.
The taste is sweet and oaky with a pronounced sharpness that could be what the hops bring...also some funky notes here. Some of that sharpness I'd have to say is because of the oak aging. Alcohol wise, it tastes as strong as the abv indicates.
I call it full bodied with lightish carbonation.
A very slow but enjoyable sipping Ale indeed.

1/2 pint to go tonight from the River Room... Poured into my little Teku as soon as I got home... Very hazy brown/red with an off white small bubble head. Nose is huge and oaky... Monstrously oaky... perhaps wine barrel or port barrel? But the oak pounding sorta blows out the caramel malt... Fruity grape/tart cherry essence... Flavor begins with a light brown sugar/caramel essence that sticks through the finish but is also punished by the oaky tannins... Dried fruit and a little vinous, even a little bit tart... Very complex despite the beat the oak is giving my palate. Medium body, carbonation is good for the style.
Interesting.... A small glass is plenty for me... This is definitely a contemplative sipper.
