Eagle Park Brewing

Appearance: Very dark brown, has a small head but fizzes like a soda and disappears.

Smell: Booze, apricot/candied fruit, sugar. Oh, it’s actually peach from the peach brandy barrels, not apricot.

Taste: Some sweetness, then a big hit of booze (it is 17.5%), then a kind of peachy, caramel mixture, mixed with alcohol. Finishes with booze coming out my nose. When it warms up some, the peach comes through a little stronger but still hot from the alcohol.

Overall: This is a bourbon barrel aged, then peach brandy barrel aged, 17.5% barleywine. It comes in about the perfect package for a 17.5% beer, a 7.5oz can. Canned 11/21/2025. It’s an interesting experience, definitely improves as it warms up.

 

truly exceptional stuff, perhaps my favorite beer we had here and i liked them all. this is a double barrel barleywine of epic proportions, first aged in bourbon and the in peach brandy, real cool style to try something like that and the result is a great success. this is the kind of thing i would expect from a place like the bruery, not an operation i had never heard of before landing in milwaukee, so cool! real dark color to this, past chestnut almost to brown, darker than many barleywine types, and with a lot of head from the tap and for a beer this strong and long aged, frothy and tan colored and only slowly relaxing. the peach is there in the nose, almost cooked or flambeed or something, sort caramel and toffee notes with it, long boiled grain richness, nuttiness, and dark bready vibes, along with hazelnut and vanilla nuances to the bourbon, light char and heavy oak, molasses, brown sugar, and dried apricot, wow, this is wonderfully rich and complex and its boozy as can be, dont mind at all! the flavor is all of this, some raisin and tobacco middle richness, some lower almost smoke and burnt sugar, molasses and maple and lots of good bourbon, but also quite a bold peach brandy profile, wrapped up in the alcohol. the peach is sweet and super complimentary, i get bran muffin, cigar, ripe peach, sauternes, and old crystal malt. really good stuff here, distinct and different, both barrels add a lot to this, and although its a real slow sipper its downright fantastic. in my top couple of beers from an epic trip to wisconsin!
