Murky brown body with a decent head, lasting and relatively creamy with some sticky fingers of foam clinging to the glass. Warm and inviting aroma, full of caramel and nuts. Very rich and flavorful, emphasizing deep roasted grains and caramel; a little smokey; traces of bourbon and aged white oak. Heavy body; warm and coating on the palate; semi-sweet with some alcohol dryness.

It is nice to find well-crafted barrel aged beers that come across balanced and deep with flavor and complexity. This beer from Phantom Canyon does it. There is nothing pretentious or over the top here; just delivering a finely tuned, balanced beer. A great one to grab a hold of if you can.
