We brewed this Belgian-style dark ale in July, 2010 and transferred it several weeks later into freshly drained Port barrels. For the next 11 months the beer worked in and out of the French oak barrels as the temperature in the brewery fluctuated with the seasons. In June 2011 we bottled the beer and put it aside to allow the flavors of the wood and the beer to marry and mellow. The result is spicy-sweet with hints of raisin and caramel that mingle with the dark fruit notes and oak from the barrels. We love this unique brew and hope you will too!

    From Aug KnoxBeerCrew tasting. Dark brown pour, sightly muddled, short tan cap, nice lacing. Complex aromas: ripe fruits, rich candi sugars, oaksy woodiness, hint of grapes from the Port barrels. Rich flavors of ripe fruits, caramel, oaken vanilla, slight Port and wine, warming alcohol. Big beer, interestingly tasty especially with the Port quality.
