A traditional American-style Barley Wine aged for six weeks in freshly decanted Kentucky bourbon barrels.
With a rich, malty backbone and a citrusy aromatic hoppiness, this craft beer comes together to create a well-balanced flavor profile and ruby-red color. The complex brew mellows into a balance of sweet malt, vanilla and caramel notes and bitter hops – creating a delicious Kentucky version of a beer style that originated among the British aristocracy. At 10 percent alcohol by volume (ABV), this limited seasonal release is a perfect sipping beer to enjoy as the last notes of winter finally melt away.

Bottle: Pours berry-red, clear, with a thin, off-white cap. Scent is oak, mild bourbon, cherry. Taste is cherry malt....alcohol. Thin, weak bodied...even the bourbon feels washed out and weak. Really disappointing.

Bourbon and oak aroma. Clear copper, thin head. Oak and cherries. Hot, but thin. Lambasted at the tasting I attended, but not all that bad. Not a good barleywine, but drinkable.

12 ounce bottle from Beer Run shared at the April 2014 Charlottesville tasting. Pours a clear amber color with a thin fizzy white head. Fair head retention. Aroma of sickly sweet toffee, cheap whiskey. The taste is buttery toffee, butterscotch, banana, bourbon, pale malt, hops. Thin bodied.
