The first flavors pulled away from this pale red tinted beer comes from a barleywine that has been resting in small batch 10 year Apple Brandy barrels, aged on cherries. The cherry apple jack component is the dominant character of the beer.
To add a little more body and a lasting spiciness, our brewers blended in a variation of Rye on Rye resting in 6 year rye whiskey barrels.
Finally, adding depth to an already complex beer, we added a quadrupel ale that has been aging in 2nd use Cabernet wine barrels, using the tannins from the wood and wine to keep the finish tight and balanced.

750ml bottle. Poured out a dark, dark brown color with a small, khaki-colored head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of dried dark fruits, whiskey, oak, vanilla and toffee. Boozy taste with fruitiness, toffee, rich caramel and some oak notes.
