We originally brewed this Wheat Wine Ale in 2014 as part of our annual Decadence series to celebrate our nineteenth anniversary. One lucky portion of the ale was set aside to be aged in bourbon barrels for this year’s release. After a lengthy period of hibernation, the beer’s profile has become magnified by the barrel’s rich oaky character. Now, notes of vanilla and bourbon have combined with the Wheat Wine’s honey and ripe fruit flavors to make this limited release a truly memorable experience. Enjoy now or continue to age in a cool, dark place.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8
750mL bottle pours with a slightly hazy coppery amber colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up smooth bourbon, soft sweet malts, a sweet wheat sensation, caramel, a dash of vanilla and then thin yet sharper notes of booze and oak toward the end of the draw. The taste is similar where a silky smooth mouthfeel delivers soft bourbon notes climbing into more and more boozy bourbon to midway. Running parallel to that are notes of smooth soft sweet malts, some thin vanilla notes and a caramel sort of molasses sensation around the edges. It definitely has some booze soaked oak floating around here and there creating a bit of a harsher experience until a small sweet island of prunes and figs is noticed. This is a nice sipper but the barrel seems a tad forward, but maybe this beer needs it.
