Bourbon Barrel-Aged English Barleywine
This rich, bold barleywine boasts deep, dark autumn hues and a nose of toasted coffee, burnt sugar, and aged oak. The first sip reveals a perfect balance of sweet caramel malt and smoky bourbon barrel character, with subtle charred wood and warming alcohol notes. Smooth and comforting, it lingers with a complex depth from its time spent aging. Limited in production, this beer is perfect for slow sipping on cool evenings.

12 oz bottle from their club collection, into a snifter.
Dark cola-brown ale, nose is of burnt sugar, oak, fig, touch of alcohol volatiles.
Flavors are tightly reigned it, as a mix of toasted oak, carob and butter rum lead to a relatively clean and short finish. Hints of raisin bread and anise at the back of the sip.
Incredible brew, impeccably quaffable for the style.

Much darker than a typical barleywine, closer to the color of a stout. Nose is earthy, bready and boozy. Hints of caramel and tobacco. Taste is burnt caramel with a bourbon finish. Nice warmth from the ABV.
