Tree of Reckoning is a bourbon barrel-aged Barleywine Ale that was aged for 27 months in Buffalo Trace barrels before being re-racked into select Weller barrels. Transformed by its journey between these charred oak barrels, it pours an almost black color with flashes of ruby hues when held to the light. Rising from its tan head are intense notes of bourbon-aged maple syrup, melted vanilla dark chocolate bars, Madeira-soaked plums, and German marzipan. These sweet notes are tempered by rich bourbon character throughout, along with accents of tannic American oak. Tree of Reckoning is the product of careful stewardship, foresight, and patience. It is meant to be shared with those you love over good conversation or sipped in quiet reflection.

16oz. Waxed and capped bottle into a teku.
Pours a near pitch black mahogany. Near no carbonation. Thick, oily legs. Menacing, big, bold. Nose is boozy. Notes of raisin, anise, molasses, and leather. Prunes and breakfast syrup too. Rich and sticky. Beer opens chocolate, molasses, caramel, and brown sugar. Sticky sweet. Toffee and dried dark fruit in the middle. Oak, leather, and tobacco at the end. Long, fruit forward and boozy finish. Body is full with low carbonation. Velvety, thick, and chewy on the palate. Boozy finish and aftertaste.
Nice beer but this one's missing something that puts it into the truly great territory. A nice entry in the Tree House big beer portfolio.
