Festival of Wood and Barrel Aged Beer Results

Thought I'd already posted the results from the Festival of Wood and Barrel Aged Beer, but apparently, I did no such thing. Perhaps it was all the really strong beer I sampled that confused my memory. The Festival was put on by the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild.
