Flying Mouflan unlocks bold notes of hops dipped in candi sugar and rolled in cocoa nibs. We mature our barleywine ale in oak barrels for over 6 months to soak in tangy raisin and infuse vanilla and chocolate decadence.

Poured into a Flying Mouflan tulip, the appearance was a dark amber color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Some messy lace.
The aroma had some sharp sweet caramel/toffee up front. Sharp crisp red apple. Touch of vanilla and wood then some grassy to tobacco hops.
The flavor takes the prior mentioned aromas sweetly and then as it warms, more bitterness comes out with a touch of spice. Nice wet tobacco/vanilla/malty aftertaste flowing into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a great sipping quality about it. Carbonation seems to starting to die off a bit. ABV felt where the brewer projected it.
Overall, nicely done barleywine leaning towards the English side and aged fairly well. I would have this again.
