English Barleywine aged in a single Rare Breed 14-year barrel for 20 months.
Our Singularity series beers are those which, we feel, show off the best of our barrel-aging program. They are never planned, rather discovered as we taste through our barrels on hand. This particular Rare Breed (Basically a 14-year Wild Turkey barrel) jumped out at us in a big way during a recent tasting, so we rushed to get it into bottles in time for (most of) the holiday season.
We love how thoroughly the bourbon character shines through this beer. Drinking almost like a brown sugar old fashioned, it is heady with cherries, toffee, vanilla, and spice. Incredibly warming and spirit forward, but tempered by beautifully rich malt character with just enough sweetness to find balance.

Sweet honey and caramel malty, a hint of butterscotch, candied/sugar-coated raisins, and a balanced bourbon barrel nose on this one! Taste follows with a soft and full, sweet toffee and honey, dark fruits, and a vanilla-bourbon barrel finish. Yum! This is on the sweeter side upfront, but that is what I like! Ha! It balances out the those nice barrel notes on the backend. This is fantastic!
