This barleywine was barrel-aged for 18 months in French oak with Brettanomyces Bruxellensis and Brettanomyces Lambicus. Only 4 barrels were produced and each barrel has been bottled as its own series and numbered by hand with each barrel slightly different than the next. A pleasant and distinct funky aroma leads into flavours of dried dark stone fruits and umami overtones, complemented with a dry, sherry-like finish.

Quad more than barleywine, though citrus comes out as it warms. Brett fully developed, and the oak is subtle. A powerful sipper. 4.25
