Description of this Beer

 Complex dark fruits and candied fruit with rummy and vanilla overtones. Tasting out of the barrel I think this could be served as is with no carbonation at all but I will carb it up a bit anyway.

Aged for 3-4 weeks in used Rumble barrel from Balcones Distillery in Waco Texas.

 

This was the first runnings from a patigyle brew day so the fermentable may seem a little bit high. The second runnings did not get any hops just basil.
