The brewers love barley wines and it felt rude not to brew one into barrels for later blending to share with everyone what a big but beautiful beer a barleywine can be.
TASTING NOTES
A gorgeous clear light-bronze in the glass, oak takes a backseat to the melding of malt and yeast ester working together with the huge ABV to create dark fruit and plum aromas and sweet caramel and toffee notes. The finish is dominated by a mouth coating ethanol and ester viscosity.
