In 2018, we designed an English Barleywine, Potentiality, to be optimized for extended barrel aging. Sequentially aged in two fresh barrels for 15 months each, the base beer has evolved to achieve its Final Form.

Final Form: Existence was aged in a VSOP Cognac barrel for 15 months then transferred to a 9 year old Evan Williams Single Barrel barrel for an additional 15 months.

Sweet caramel/toffee malty, hint of dark fruits, and sweet vanilla bourbon and cognac boozy nose on this one! Taste follows with a sweet caramel and brown sugar malty and balanced barrel finish. This is not as viscous as some of the other Final Form iterations, but drinks so well. The caramel/toffee notes are wonderfully balanced with the bourbon and cognac barrels here. Decadent and sweet...Phenomenal! #barleywineislife
