Malty sweetness with notes of raisins, toffee and caramel are balanced with a slight hoppiness. This barleywine was aged for 11 months in Woodford Reserve barrels and is primed to help you unleash your inner BEAST!!

12 ounce can into a snifter. Had 11/7/19.

Pours kind of a mahogany color, cloudy, with a quarter inch foamy head and light foamy lacing. Aromas of bourbon, caramel, plums, malt, brown sugar, some raisins, light char. Flavors of bourbon, caramel, plums, grapes, malt, light tobacco, a little oak. Some hop bitterness midway through the finish. Smooth, a good medium body, well carbonated.

Well executed. Very good barrels, more caramel than fruit. Very enjoyable.
