We tasted through multiple batches of old ales that had been resting in small format rye whiskey barrels over the past year. Some of those batches were blended and transferred into a freshly-dumped Heaven Hill rye whiskey barrel for an additional year of aging (for a hopeful double-barrel release next year.) The rest was blended to taste and bottled for this release.
Notes of toffee, molasses, caramel and subtle hints of dark fruit complement the commanding presence of rye whiskey and oak from the beer’s time in the barrel.

Pours a deep brown, with red edges when held up to light. Almost still, the barrel and ABV crumbles the head. Syrupy, with thick alcohol legs as you swirl the glass.
Aroma is oddly muted. Wet, charred wood, over-roasted malts and oaky coconut. Almost got a smoky firewood when first poured.
Wowwy. Tons of whiskey. A lot more oak, toasted wood, molasses, booze-soaked dark fruit, and dark salted caramel.
Drinks a tad on the watery side, but that could be the lack of carbonation. Glad I tried it, but I was looking for something more.
