We took many extra steps to make this intense hoppy American-style barleywine to celebrate 10 years of brewing flavorful beers in the most flavorful styles. Selecting from the best hops the world has to offer, and Bourbon-barrel aging for 6 months was just the beginning for us. Then we dry-hopped it afterwards for a really great, fresh hop aroma. All this hard work pays off by creating a great well-balanced barleywine with tons of character that will stand the test of time. Happy birthday to us, and cheers to you.

Bottle, 22oz. Shared by meilby. A clear reddish brown beer with a small, firm beige head. Sweetish aroma with alcohol, dried fruits, some caramel, bread, pine cones and citrus zest. It's full-bodied, warming and with a nice carbonation. Dried fruits, caramel, bread notes, pine cones, citrus zest and a bit low bitterness. Lasting finish. I'd like a bit more bitterness in this one, but I'ts sure a fine one. A bit sweet too perhaps. 171111
