Barrel-Aged Barleywine
The soul of Barleywine channeled through vivifying bourbon barrels and blended with an alchemist's touch. Summon notes of caramel, stone fruit, brown sugar, and vanilla with each generous swirl.

Walnut furniture brown, a nice thin layer of tan foam. Smell is full of malts, alcohol and some sugar/molasses. Rich taste, makes me think of old book leather. Nicely numbing from the first sips. Invites some nice, slow, contemplative sipping. Watching nice rings of foam being left in the glass.

On tap at Revolution - Kedzie, pours a deep dark mahogany / dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma reveals plenty of bourbon, dark dried fruits, and brown sugar. Flavour is quite syrupy, with lots of dark dried fruits, intense bourbon, toffee, and brown sugar. A bit too syrupy and sweet for me, but there�s a real nice barrel character. Rich and complex but a bit too brutal and sweet. Good.

Sweet, caramely malty and syrupy with some stingy toffee bourbon, vanilla and earthy notes, hints of warming alcohol. Heavy but tasty.
