Barrel-Aged Barleywine Aged in Cognac Barrels

Our Institutionalized Barleywine takes shelter in Cognac barrels for 12 months before emerging imbued with characteristics of one of the worlds most storied spirits. French oak adds character that is subdued but complex as compared to American varieties, making this a perfect beer for the best of times or the end of times. Enjoy now or store cold.

A little muted compared to ryeway but still super delicious cognac hints on top of super smooth BiL. Caramel candy for sure with some tannic love.

Eventually found myself taking a sip and forgetting I wasn’t drinking port wine (my love). Super strong cognac presence, yet not overwhelming. Fig Newtons, prunes, sweet malt. Boozy AF. Not for the faint of heart, but certainly for the love of god.
