Southern Tier Cuvee Series 3

As part of a beer trade with Lee from Hoptopia, I received a bottle of Southern Tier Cuvee Series Part 3. The beer pours a reddish amber color with a thin and filmy off-white colored head. The aroma consists of sweet malts, raisin, cherry, oak, and yeast. The taste is sweet and cherry right up front with lots of cherry flavor. The finish brings a little bit of roasted malts, raisin, and a bit of yeast. The after taste lets the oak flavor linger on the tongue with a cherry goodness. The alcohol content is 11.0% ABV. This beer, which sides on the sweet part of the palate, is smooth and cherry-filled. I enjoyed the oak finish and after taste, as it helped calm down the sweetness of the beer.
