Described as a clone of Hair of the Dog's venerable Adam from the Wood, which may be technically described as a barrel aged German Strong Ale that originated in Dortmunder. Cherry Street's version is aged for 13 months in a Chattanooga Whiskey barrel.
Pours a dark amber, verging on rust in color. Not quite opaque, but not much light coming through, either. Virtually no head.
Aroma of birthday cake batter and icing. Super sweet.
Taste largely follows the nose, with sugary sweetness beginning with notes of cake icing but with building complexity as the beer warms to encompass dried stone fruits and vanilla.
Mouthfeel is slick and oily, with light carbonation. Toothsome.
In summary, an outstanding beer that simply is difficult to describe in words. Stylistically difficult to describe--whether old ale, English barleywine, American strong ale, or German strong ale--it really doesn't matter. Holds its own with the Bourbon County Brand Barleywine, Bourbon Barrel Old Stock Ale, and, yes, Adam From the Wood creations of the beer world. It may just better them. Amazing.
