Calvados and Apple Brandy Barrel-Aged Barleywine Style Ale
We’re keeping ‘em honest with chin music barleywine style ale. This bold, sweet creation goes high and inside with heaping notes of toffee and molasses brushing your tastebuds back with bright apple notes from the barrel aging process.

Bottle pour thanks to Brian! Cola brown w/no sparkle or lacing. Aroma is strong dark fruit/raisin, toffee, caramel. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture, soft carbonation finish as taste. Good.

500 ml bottle, Thanks to Brain on the share. I can’t find Cavado’s or apple brandy at this point. Just tastes like toffee, raisins, and old plums. Barrel is not here.
