At This Peculiar Point In Time is a blend of bourbon and whiskey barrel aged barleywine plus a younger, non-barrel aged batch. After we finished blending the beer together, we conditioned it on a special, honey processed, Costa Rican coffee for notes of brown sugar, cocoa and raisin.

I got a can of this beer from my good friend and old neighbor from the 'Wego. It poured a clear amber with ruby edges....there was no head and no lace. The scent had bourbon florish and coffee undertones. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bourbon heft and coffee highlights. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had smooth carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

Pours a light fizzy head with lower retention, crystal clear med amber to slight copper color
Nose is not quite what I was expecting, very nutty and like a granola cereal thing, a bit of toasted malts, and peanutbutter, sweet caramel, very malty cereal thing, light herbal earthy hops, a little toasted bread, and more caramel as it warms, brown sugar, just a touch of oak and coffee
Taste starts with plenty of caramel, toasted bread crust and bisctuity, then back into the big nutty cereal grain, lots of granola, a bit of caramelized honey, fair caramel in general, a light herbal earthy hop character again, quite nutty, a little warming tingly alcohol, touch of fruit as well, brown sugar and a little sweet coffee syrup, a little fresh coffee grounds in the background sticky sweet finish, bit more alcohol, nutty again lingering
Mouth is med to fuller bod, light warming slight tingly alcohol, a tad syrupy, med lighter carb
Overall not very impressed with this one, the malt character was very strange, the granola and cereal grain was eh, and nutty character was over the top for a barleywine, so not quite at the style
