In a world of pale lagers & IPAs, this beer stands apart. Sometimes life’s about the risks you take and the games you play. Harkening back to a time when bold beers ruled the land, this barleywine has huge toffee, chocolate, citrus, and fruit notes balanced by a full-bodied, bitter beverage. Will our Dangerous Game pay off? That’s up to you.

Sample at Denver Rare Beer Tasting XVI (Last Call) on 10/09/2025. Clear copper-orange color with a thin off-white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Sparse strings of lace. Aroma of malt, caramel, fruit and hops. Full-bodied with flavors of roast malt, caramel, ripe fruit and earthy hops. The finish is sweet with a caramel malt aftertaste. Good beer all around.
