Deschutes Cherries Jubelale Barrel-aged Imperial Winter Warmer.
9.2 % ABV, Deschutes Brewing, Bend, OR.
In the eye: Dark reddish brown, thoroughly opaque, slim brownish head.
In the nose: Cherries on top of this one, with bourbon barrel flavors just below. Some vanilla and spice, a whiff of chocolate.
In the mouth: Cherry's in charge again. The original beer is way below, takes of the barrel mingle a little. Slight tart flavor to match the sweet. Full-bodied, long malty finish. Getting very wine-like, with chocolate, spice, and a hint of smoke.
I kind of like it.
Barrel-aged imperial winter warmer. Cherries and vanilla beans added.
