Barrel Aged Snowburn
River North Brewery

Wheatwines, especially those tossed into a barrel, are in woefully short supply in my land. Good to have one popped open here. 375ML bottle.

The pour is dark, with a red clay cast to with a nose of caramel, sharp oak, & a touch of bourbon.

Snowburn: your eighteenth century recommendation to cure a cold. Bourbon, booze are aggressive up front, backed by a ladle-full of caramel. Smooth, rich, sweet caramel. Mild cola & dark fruitiness mid-palate with a sharpness of oak or hops on the finish. An echo of cold medicine. This is the correct size container.

A very good beer that borders on excellent.

Dark brown body, tan cap. Smell is actually really nice: toasty caramel and oak, with dark wheat, bourbon, black strap molasses and date. Taste has barrel and cola leading now, toasty caramel and dark wheat back. Medium bodied with plenty of barrel and wheat to spare but never gets hot. Better than the non-ba version
