Dogfish Head Red & White
I have no idea how this is classified as a witbier on beer advocate. Although I guess it taste like someone poured a bunch of grape/wine syrup into a white ale (if i close my eyes).
I was hoping this would be similar to Goose Island's Sofie, but it really wasn't.
This was pretty sweet, with some fruitiness to it. There is something in it that my nose really dislikes, as its now completely stuffed up. Last time that has really happened (that I can remember) was with Founder Centennial IPA.
Would not buy again.

I think if you handed me this without knowing what it was I wouldn't be able to tell it was barrel aged.
There's a fairly subtle vanilla taste. It is really bubbly, or at least, really small bubbles, thanks to the champagne yeast. Fairly bitter.
I'll have to say, it was not worth the money ($20). Definitely not, compared to say, Heresy ($12 four-pack) or KBS ($20 four-pack).
The bottle is really cool though.

Great name.
This was a pretty tasty beer. Fairly sweet with peppery/spice notes. I'd definitely get it again if I saw it on draft.

Weyerbacher Heresy
I had this on draft at Rustico a few weeks ago and loved it.
Its not thick and super sweet like a lot of barrel aged stouts. Strong vanilla/bourbon smell, but it doesn't come across that much in the taste. I really like it.
