We took a batch of Monsters’ Park that had been aging for 42 months in Peach Brandy Barrels, then treated it to dessert:

Brown Sugar, Cinnamon Sticks, Graham Cracker Crumbs, Vanilla, and a heap of Blueberries; some of these berries were high-quality concentrate, and some were cooked down in the Special Projects oven for maximum sticky jam impact. The beer turned out ridiculously awesome, with tons of dark fruit, blueberry, and baking spice notes that swirl around your palate.

I was skeptical of this brew after reading it's description, but when it comes to the MT barrel boys, I'm usually wrong. This time I was partially right. Take this brew https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/31987/114926/?ba=rand#review and add some grape and peach nuance, along with a lot of dessert aspects. Problem is, it's too roasty and toasty and oaky to blend well with it's fruity nuances. Think of a peach jelly filled doughnut topped with unsweetened chocolate.
