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.

Canned 10/25/23, drunk 11/22/23. Clear, dark amber. Dark beige head immediately to ring. Welp, that's beautiful. Perfect mix of bourbon spice and rich toffee. Such a fantastic recipe. Toffee, vanilla, red fruit, great acidity. So much aroma and balance with nothing harsh or sugary. Soft, sweet, spicy, with rich toffee and a bit of red fruit and light earthiness. Great balance, medium-full body, somehow not syrupy or too sweet. Great acidity. There's a reason why $75 12oz 4 packs of the VS version of this sell out same day.

Malmö October tasting at Palace Hall (14/10/2023) - (2022 vintage) toasted sweet malty with layers of caramel and toffee, dried fruit shred, full body, brown sugar, vanilla and bourbon coalesce into the sweet malty finish. Gorgeous.

Sweet, oily, boozy. Caramel, bourbon, vanilla, smooth and rich. Far less sharp than the previous vintages I've tried, very nice.

Stingy, resinous and woody with intense barrel notes, prunes, figs, raisins, tobacco, toffee and caramel. Aggressive but still quite balanced and tasty

Figgy caramel love. So good and so drinkable. Lots of vanilla bourbon barrel booziness.

Can. Trade. Pours amber copper with a small white fading head. Rich malty nose - dark fruit, vanilla, tobacco and a touch of booze. Flavor is deep oak, maple, vanilla, dark fruit. Extremely well rounded, intense and super tasty. Wauw, best Bourbon Barley Wine ive had in quite a while.
