The first single-barrel Barleywine coming out of our Lumber Project is Weller Maris. The base of this beer was Maris b2, our annual English Barleywine collaboration with our friends from Horus Aged Ales and Mindful Ales. This base spent 20 months in a 6yr Weller barrel.

This one pours a golden dark brown color, with a small head, and not much lacing.
This smells like caramel, maple, molasses, raisin, bourbon, and vanilla.
This is easily one of the best beers that I’ve had so far from Timber. It’s an absolutely top tier barleywine, with a sticky and deeply malty backbone – caramel, dark fruit (raisin, dried cherry), molasses, even some maple-ish flavors, with a touch of chocolate as well. There’s an oaky depth as well, tobacco and vanilla, with a wonderful bourbon finish.
This is medium bodied, not boozy at all, with a wonderful drinkability.
This is just stupid good – if you aren’t on board with Timber yet, get on. They are one of the best breweries in the country currently.
