From the label

“On the occasion of our tenth anniversary, we present this sophisticated-but-approachable celebratory ale with cherries. English barleywine ales aged in bourbon and rye whiskey barrels between twelve and twenty-four months create notes of stone fruit, vanilla, and graham. A blend of sweet and tart cherries lends soft sweetness, acidity, and hue. Find something to celebrate now or store cold.”
