This is a Rye Whiskey Barrel Aged Doppelbock. ABV is 9%.

A: Pours a dark reddish/brown color. A small white head forms, and recedes to a ring that sticks around. Not much lace is left behind, but for a barrel aged offering not really expected either.
S: A big wood aroma up front. With vanilla and chocolate. A bit of a rye spice. Dark fruits round this out, with cherry and plums. A very enjoyable barrel aged aroma.
T: Yep, all the barrel aged goodness is here. Wood, vanilla up front. Chocolate covered cherries. Toasted malts, light spiciness. Just enough sweetness, without being overbearing or cloying in anyway. Love it.
M/O: A big full body with firm carbonation. That becomes ultra smooth after this breaths. The malty character gives the perfect amount of chewiness to the body. The alcohol is well hidden, and just a very enjoyable sipper.

I really enjoy their regular Dopplebock, and the barrel aged version is very good as well. The barrel character is fairly strong, and almost takes over. Though the great malt character does peak through in the end. Of coarse, not a traditional Dopplebock because of the barrel aged treatment, but still very enjoyable and well done.
