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.

Burnt reddish brown. Looks like prune juice. Smells great Like a toffee fudge, prune, raisin, fig and bourbon bomb. lovely aroma. Alesmith’s barrel aged beers almost never disappoint. Nice flavor, a bit oxidized. It’s possible I held it so long. Wow ther’s this like serious cotton candy flavor with vanilla, clove, pepper, brown sugar, maple syrup, mollasses. IT”s loaded with a ton of fruits and a terrific mouthfeel. It’s velvety, dense, sweet. soft carbonation, sweet potato and brown sugar finish. lovely shit.

On tap at the Anvil and Stave. Pours a cloudy copper with small off white head that lasts. The aroma is vanilla, wood, chocolate, toffee. Medium body, caramel, vanilla, wood, nice boozy finish, very nice.
