Gravity Coaster Barley Wine (13.4% ABV) displays a deep amber color. Tasting notes of red fruits and toffee preceed a lingering warmth. The bourbon barrel-aged character is instantly evident with waves of vanilla and an underlying layer of oak.
The name “Gravity Coaster” was inspired by the switchback roller coaster that thrilled guests at the grand Hotel Aracadia that once stood along Santa Monica’s beachfront (demolished 1887). The historic coaster and contemporary hand-drawn fonts adorn the beautifully designed label.

750ml poured into tulip.
Amber/orange off white head which mostly diminishes.
Caramel, with a touch of bourbon in nose.
Caramel is the dominant flavor, bourbon, cherry and vanilla add balancing notes.
Medium body, syrupy feel, west coast barleywine like bitter finish.
Overall, this is straight forward BA barleywine, with no flavoring, hits the right notes for those that like that kind of beer, which would include me.
