Sampled 5/3/2011 at the brewpub.

This was made for the millennium originally but it's been made again, and who knows, in another decade it might be made yet again. So for now I've listed it as Rotating. As for the style, all I was told was that it's been "Burtonized" and it has some obvious oak influences.

Pours clear, golden brown, small white head that doesnt lace or last.

Aroma is wood, sweet, malt, and cherry. Kind of barleywine-ish.

Flavor is cherry, french oak, a little bit tart, caramel, plum, maybe some bready malts, some old hops (fish food), and low bitterness.

Body is slgihtly more than medium, not a ton of CO2 but it works. Drinkable and enjoyable.
