Tree of Grace
Tree House Brewing Company

This one pours a dark-ish golden brown, with a small head, and not much lacing.

This smells kinda like sticky toffee pudding with something like rum syrup on it. There’s butterscotch, maple, and oak as well.

This has such a dynamite caramel and toffee feel to it, with a nice distinct spicy and sweet rum note to it. The rum barrel is definitely stronger tasting than the bourbon barrels. There’s a really great spicy oakiness on the finish, with a sticky and full sweetness to it that never gets cloying.

This is medium bodied, not very boozy at all, with a great drinkability for the style.

Tree House is just consistently releasing excellent barleywines at this point, they are batting .1000 lately.

 

 

Brewers notes: Tree of Grace is a barrel-aged barleywine ale aged in a mix of bourbon barrels for one year before an additional year aged in select rum barrels. A product of time, patience, and carefully studied brewing acumen, this beer presents over a decade of learned experience in its creation.

Pouring a luscious dark amber color into your glass, notes of molten toffee, butterscotch, and sticky rum cake coat the palate. On top of this quintessential foundation, aromas of fruit-laden marzipan, oven-toasted coconut, and dried tropical fruits swirl above the glass. Tree of Grace is a beer to be celebrated and enjoyed on a special occasion. Given its heft and complexity, it should age exceptionally and reward your patience for up to ten years.

Pours deep brown. Aroma is wonderful toffee & butterscotch combo. Taste is more complex and intense than aroma. Balanced mix of toffee with added nuttiness and dark fruits. Traditional barleywine mouthfeel. Overall, and incredible brew.
