Part two of this special anniversary release had our American Barleywine/Imperial hybrid conditioning over a 12 month period in Glen Breton Rare Single Malt Whiskey barrels. Here’s to the next 20 years of great craft beer.

Was not sure what to expect on this bomber purchased in late 2019 released in 2018....age did it just fine.
Pours a clear ruby deep copper (the dregs were a bit cloudy but this was not a one man beer) with half finger of tawny head.
Aroma of raisins, brown sugar, toffee, notes of the barrel, vanilla and a bit of floral earthy hop.
Tastes of raisin, bread pudding, toffee, vanilla. Notes of the whiskey barrel - a bit of booziness, bittersweet earthiness.
Moderate full mouthfeel with decent carbonation - toffee/brown sugar sweetness with a smooth warming boozy finish.

20 year anniversary brew.
American Barleywine/Imperial Hybrid aged 12 months on Glen Breton Rare Single Malt Whiskey Barrels.
Appearance - Pours a ruby amber with two fingers of bubbly white head.
Smell - oak, honey, toffee malts, earthy and leafy hops, raisin, plum, caramel, and earthy yeast.
Taste - oak, honey, toffee malts, and earthy and leafy hops upfront. The raisin, plum, caramel, and earthy yeast round out the brew.
Mouthfeel - Medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes chewy with the oak, honey, raisin, plum, alcohol, and earthy and leafy hops lingering.
Overall - A mere sipper of a brew from Garrison. This is one displays the elements of the style well and certainly is a hybrid of the Barleywine and IPA styles. Worth a go if see this at your local liqour store.
