This black Barleywine is the result of blending styles into barrels for extended aging. All small format barrels from Rock Filter were used for this creation. Barrels ranged from 18 to 38 months old. Barleywine was blended with imperial porter, double stout, wheatwine, old ale, and imperial scotch ale in the barrel before aging. All these barrels were truly unique, and when blended together we found them to be extremely complex and welcoming. No need for adjuncts here.

#10000 - Land of 10,000 Ticks
6 oz bottle at forager. Black color, caramel hue. No head.
This is outstanding and much better than the Silas. This tastes like it has adjuncts but it doesn’t, while Silas taste like it doesn’t but does. Silky and warming. Lots of bourbon, caramel, fudge. Chewy wet oak. Tannins, raisins, dried red apples, toffee, molasses. Vanilla and brown sugar. Char from the barrel. Thick, rich, but not cloying or sweet. Full bodied. This is borderline stout than black bw.
Absolutely incredible and I am glad this was 10k. Such a ‘journey’ it has been.
