Deschutes Cherries Jubelale Barrel-aged Imperial Winter Warmer

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.
