Single Barrel Death Blow - Barley Wine aged in Bourbon Barrels
This barley wine was brewed with a simple grain bill of quality British malt and a small amount of caramel to add body. The beer pours a rich amber colour and an intentionally low carbonation allows the malt and barrel profile of the beer to be at the forefront of the palette. We barrel aged this version in Basil Hayden’s Barrels for 12 months before packaging. The result is a beer with notes of caramel, toffee, vanilla and raisins with a stern Bourbon backbone. At 11.8%, enjoy this beer now, or age to enjoy during holiday seasons to come. ... 11.8% ABV

Big round bourbon in the front, gradually progressing into a dark treacle middle and a Christmas pudding finish. Powerful. Most credible.
