Relentless Perseverance is a colossal Barleywine brewed by my friend Luis from The Hallway Tap. We made this beer for Alex Kidd from Don’t Drink Beers. A portion of proceeds from bottle sales will be donated to help offset his medical expenses. There are few people that have had such an indelible mark on the beer industry as Alex, and there certainly isn't anyone that can be credited more with the resurrection of Barleywine. His voice in the beer industry is wholly unique and appreciated.
This massive Barleywine was brewed with a combination of imported and domestic malt, and fermented with a traditional English ale yeast. After primary fermentation, the beer was sent to rest in freshly emptied Stagg Jr barrels with my house Brettanomyces culture. Malty and fruity with all the requisite notes of caramel ribbon, dates, and figs. This beer is 16.2% ABV and is built to endure.

Bottled and corked on 7/2/2024 in a 375mL.
The deep brown liquid cascades into its Odd Breed willi becher, agitating almost zero carbonation. After a few minutes in the glass, an ivory ring of foam rises up, framing the pool of liquid.
The nose is characterized largely by notes of rum raisin, dark chocolate, caramel candy, and leather. On the back end are very clear notes of vanilla-fueled whiskey and candied dates; if you've ever had the privilege of tasting any Stagg bourbons, you know how much influence the barrel treatment is playing here with those burnt caramel and vanilla notes surging into the finish.
While the palate is undoubtedly a boozy beast, there is great effort taken to bring balance to the profile. Hitting at the forefront are Raisinets and Milk Duds; rich and sweet. Quick to change hands is that barrel integration, a joint entry with notes of fig, baking cocoa, and vanilla bitters on a malty backbone.
The mouthfeel - while noticeably thin in appearance on the pour - actually has some nice weight to it. A touch syrupy, but with a present bitterness and soft carbonation to help cut and prevent it from feeling too slick. There are a touch of esters to accompany some residual heat and lingering bitterness.
