Creamy beige head with dark ruby body. Very creamy and smooth with a malty finish and a lingering of hops. Barrel-aged in rum and bourbon barrels.

Beautiful golden amber, thin head. Nice English-style yeast character, fruity, caramel malt. Then on the palate it’s hoppy, a bit of alcohol, resinous, the candied fruit notes come through the finish. Love that anglo-american character

Shared with Josh during our trip to Festival of Dark Arts 2026. 9.5% ABV.
Aroma: malty, hoppy, bold, some caramel.
Taste: along the same lines, on the thinner side. Finishes with noticeable hoppy bitterness.
Overall: good American BW.

English style barley wine I was told. Dark amber with white head that collapses. Malty aroma, very full. Malty taste with toast notes, Wine like feeling.

On tap at Upright, pours a clear vibrant amber with a small white head. Aroma is actually pretty laid back for the style, with bready malt and a hint of toasted caramel. Flavour is malty but dry, with lots of toasted caramel dominating, followed by bready malt and a hint of hoppy resins. Very malty but dry (for the style) finish. The ABV is not apparent at all. Very well-made.
