Bourbon Barrel-Aged Apple Pie-inspired English-Style Barleywine

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.
