Massive flavor doesn’t have to be intimidating. It’s true, our Barleywine Ale is complex, loaded with notes of caramel and fruit. Yet all of these intriguing flavors are balanced to perfection, creating a well-rounded and exciting drinking experience, culminating in this bold, high ABV Barleywine Ale.

Bottle. Pour is a light copper and supports a finger of so of dense foam that seems to be hanging around for a bit. Aromas are… well… I get banana bread out of this one. No idea what that is all about. Flavor is a lovely hit of booze right up front, then that transition to sugary malts (caramel, mostly) and then an edgy hops finish. Really nice for the style and just what I like in it. Balance of sweet to hops, a nice boozy kick, yum!

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with a copper hue and a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has sweet bread and light toffee with some caramel and a touch of light fruits. Flavor has sweet grains and bread with a bit of toffee and caramel underlying.
