English style barleywine aged in Angel’s Envy bourbon barrels. Brewed with enough Maris Otter pale, Aromatic and caramel malts to nearly overflow our mash tun. We then balanced this beer with some English Nugget and Kent Goldings hops. The resulting ale was sweet, nutty and powerful, but we didn’t stop there. The entire batch was put into used Angel’s Envy barrels for nearly 3 months to gather the residual bourbon flavor and some aromatic and drying oak notes. By the way, Balling is a measurement of specific gravity.

Can/Fest. A- Boozy, fruity, malty. A- Copper color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Booze, caramel, pine, stone fruits, malty. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, boozy finish. O- A big bold beer. Alcohol is very present. Lots of generic fruity and sweet bread flavors. Nothing really stand out for flavors because it's well put together.

The Aromas are caramel, toffee, toast, with a little cardboard and a hint of Brandy. Flavors are very much like knows, if a little better, sweet but not overly so with good carbonation and a hint of bitter to balance. Some booze in the Finish but for this strength a pretty good barleywine.

16 ounce can. Hazy amber orange pour. Brief beige head. Earthy malt nose hints at vanilla and oak. Sweet toasted malt flavor upfront. Notes of caramel, vanilla and nuts. Warming alcohol in middle. Oak and whiskey notes in finish. Quite complex and flavorful.

Burk från Emil, tack! Smådisig bärnstensfärgad med smutsvit krona. Old school, ljus BW som trots namnet går åt det amerikanska hållet. Välhumlat med toner av granskott, skogiga drag, aprikos- och apelsinmarmelad, ljus torkad frukt, sultanarussin. Relativt snäll fatton som ger lite vanilj. Viss alkoholvärme.
