Barleywines don’t need (or deserve) barrel or adjunct treatment. Unless it’s done in a really classy or unique way.
Consider then this killer elixir from Burns Family Artisan Ales in Denver, CO, called ‘Gallivant’.
It’s a beautiful Gin Barrel Aged English Barleywine, 2021 vintage, 14.5% ABV.
I think I could have let it rest for a couple more months because it poured a bit hot.
The benefit of the gin barrel is that we have a big BW where the inherent sweetness is cut and the resulting brew drinks differently than any regular BW I have had. Almost to the point that my first impression is as an ‘Old Ale’ base, rather than a BW. In a really good way.
A tad hot. Slightly flat. But huge flavor leads to an ‘Overall’ nearly perfect example of an English Barleywine treated with style.
