On the Dark wheel, from Tree House’s own descriptions of this beer.
Catharsis Barrel Aged - whoa. One of our favorite Porters is brewed with chocolate and caramel malts, which lend decadent aromas of cocoa powder, fudge, and milk chocolate. We then rested it exclusively in Rye Whiskey barrels, which imparted robust notes of oaky spice, vanilla, and a hint of clove. Barreling non-imperial dark beers such as this is relatively uncommon, a process that involves careful barrel selection and close attention during its rest, a practice that speaks to Catharsis’ complexity and rich flavor profile. If you want the punchy heat and decadence of a big barrel-aged stout in a significantly 'lighter' package, this is the ticket.
