Barleywine aged in a Buffalo Trace bourbon barrel for 18 months. Brewed with a double mash and boiled for 8 hours to achieve an intense caramelization.

Poured at fridge temp. Pours a murky brown with minimal head. The nose is strong bourbon and dark fruit. Raisins, toffee, figs, prunes. Not a ton coming through on the nose.

The taste is incredible. So much barrel. The Buffalo Trace barrels come through with force. Complimented by vanilla, toffee, slight maple, figs, dates, slightly bitter oak, and more booze. Really nice.

The mouthfeel is medium to thick bodied - perhaps a bit thicker than a normal BA barleywine. Likely attributable to the double mash and long boil. Overall, another winner from Temporal.

330ml bottle served in a little Hoppin Frog snulip. Don't see a date, but it's release 20/(infinity symbol).

Pours a dark, murky, muddy brown-black with a small head. Looks thick, syrupy. Smell is molasses, booze, a little char or burnt sugar.

Taste is booze up front, stewed plums, reduced red wine, burnt toffee. Reminds me a bit of burnt sticky toffee pudding somewhere in there.

Mouthfeel is not as thick as it looks, but it is pretty thick. Sticky. Not chewy, though. Overall...it's not bad, it's not great.
