The Honey Eater was brewed in collaboration with our friends at 3BR Distillery. This beer was selected from a batch of long-boiled barleywine aged for 29 months in a single Buffalo Trace Stagg Jr. barrel before being double barreled in a honey spirit cask from 3BR. The distillate previously aged in the honey barrel came from Miombo Tanzanian honey that was fermented, distilled and then aged in oak for six months. The Honey Eater pours mahogany with a luxuriously thick mouthfeel and aromatics of toffee, caramel and dark stewed fruits. This beer finishes with subtle notes of honey jack and a light floral component.​

Wow! Pours very dark and very thick, no head. Big boozy aroma, I def smell honeycomb, chocolate and bourbon barrel. Toffee and caramel are mixed in as well. Taste is chocolate up front, sweet but not cloying, I get dark fruits like fig and cherry. Has a nice fruity finish that melds with caramel. Light carbonation, very thick and viscous. Overall this is amazing, wish I had bought a few.
