Bourbon Barrel-Aged Apple Pie-inspired English-Style Barleywine • 14% ABV • We built this high-gravity sipper from a selection of standout barleywine barrels pulled from the far reaches of our wood cellar—casks already humming with layers of toffee, caramelized fruit, and warm baking spice. A brief recirculation through Ceylon cinnamon and a delicate addition of apple enhance the beer’s malt complexity and bring its pie-like character into sharper focus.

Glints of ruby sparkle through its deep amber pour as aromas of brown sugar, flaky pie crust, and spirit-soaked oak rise from the glass and give way to a rich, chewy body of vanilla-laced pastry and stewed fruit. It’s a dessert-inspired release rooted in the magic of Chevallier malt and finished with just a little bit of stardust.

Oooh, that’s very tasty. Really does bring to mind an apple crumble cake. Sweet, quite sweet, perhaps not quite cloying. Nips of cinnamon and dry caramel. Toasted malts. Stewed apples. Cake, crumble, cinnamon. Some creamy vanilla. Warming finish, sweet, lightly sticky. Great fun overall. A very nice small-dose sipper.

CBJ tasting, thanks to
Wingman for the bottle. Near clear dark amber brown beer, small pale tan head. Airy smooth palate, soft fine carbonation. Soft caramel and cream malts. Good sweetish ripe fruits, not that obviously apple, but certainly a foothold there. Airy smooth finish. A great intensity but still, very drinkable
