In order to get this beer as complex as possible we double mashed with 100% Marris Otter malt and then boiled it for over 6 hours. We lost 30% of the full volume concentrating all those delicious malt flavors. Bread, biscuit, toffee, and caramel notes lead way to a sweet finish balanced by a healthy bittering addition. We added East Kent Goldings towards the end of the boil as well as dry hop. Along with that great malt base you will get herbal, floral, and mild citrus flavors from the hop additions.

On draught at the brewery. 14 oz. pour served in a stemless glass. It pours a hazy, muddy brown with orange hues and a half finger of creamy, khaki-colored head and lots of elegant lacing inside the glass. The smell offers caramel/toffee, brown sugar, raisin/fig, and plum. Its taste is more fruit-forward than I anticipated with lots of raisin, date, and plum. Beneath the fruit is a strong, sweet, earthy malt base. As it warms in the glass there are notes of caramel and toffee. There is significant hop bitterness throughout. The mouth feel is nicely viscous and creamy with moderate carbonation. It drinks big for the 10% ABV; you can feel the alcohol. Overall, Cash or Credit is a fine Barleywine. Magnify hasn't brewed many and this is the best I've had. It's listed on BA as an American Barleywine but to me it's more appropriately categorized as an English Barleywine.
