"This undeniably strong, thick, and malty ale combines notes of plum, caramel, toffee, and chocolate to finish with a characteristic warmth and pleasant sweetness. We aimed to celebrate one of the oldest styles of beer in the world and in keeping with tradition this barleywine will only get better with age."
Poured from a 12 oz. can procured at their Export, PA location in July of 2025. This is the last of the four pack.
Pours a clear deep mahogany with a finger of off-white head that dissipates quickly. Very slight lacing is present as the beer makes its way down the glass
Nose of dark dried fruits and dark caramel/crystal malts. Definitely a bit of alcohol as well. Nice, warming nose!
Mouthfeel is medium to medium-heavy, with very little, if any, carbonated influence.
Up front it is all dried fruits and malt, which evolves into a hop bitterness and alcohol burn to balance out the sweetness. Very moreish aftertaste.
Overall a solid barleywine, but it seems to be looking for its identity. Not quite English and not quite American either. Nice beer, though.
