barrel-aged beer
Wood-conditioned ale
Barrel-aged beer is beer that has been matured in wooden barrels, typically ones previously used for bourbon, wine, or whiskey.
The wood and residual spirits impart complex flavors—vanilla, oak, caramel, or the character of whatever the barrel once held.
Stouts and strong ales are common candidates: The brewery releases its barrel-aged stout each November.
