This English-style Barley Wine was aged for 10 months in bourbon barrels previously used to store our Black Forest Stout collab with Lervig, resulting in a unique flavour profile. It's sweet and full-bodied, providing initial flavours of coconut and cherry, followed by notes of spice, oak, lime, with underlying currents of caramel and sultana.
Aroma & Flavour: Coconut and cherry compote, followed by allspice and cinnamon, with underlying caramel and sultana
Body: Full, rich and smooth
Aftertaste: Lime marmalade, apple pie, oak
