Omega Point is a bourbon barrel aged barleywine. It was blended from multiple vintages of barleywines aging in a variety of bourbon barrels. Some of the vintages have been resting in barrels as long as seven years. The result is a thick and rich treat that we are proud to share with you as our 20th anniversary celebration.

I live about thirty minutes south of the brewery, and as such - I've had a lot of this beer; easily a dozen bombers and numerous times on draft. Let me make a long story short for you - it's fantastic.
A: This mahogany hued monster is murky as hell, whether poured from the bottle or the tap. There's precious little, if any, head and very slight lacing. Not off to the best of starts. What's all the fuss about? Then you smell it...
N: Oh man, where to start? Bourbon drenched oatmeal raisin cookies - vanilla, leather, oak, honey. Oh man, where to end? Absolutely incredible nose.
T: Absurd complexity - massive malts, charred oak, caramel, tobacco. Easily one of the most complex beers I've had the pleasure to down. The alcohol is present - but certainly not overwhelming.
M: Viscous, warm and chewy. Nice little burn from the alcohol - exactly what I was hoping for.
Overall - a fantastic beer.

Really amazing, great body sweet butterscotch comes through. 2021 version. Very complex, great barley wine. Has a nice sweet smell. Taste was sweet and thick.
