Barrel-Aged Rye Wine
Singular in heft and layered with symphonic grace. Lofty notes of maple, brown sugar, and candied pecan suggest sweetness before a dry, rye-forward terminus.

12oz can, courtesy of the legend: thebaldwizard, pours with a deep copper to mahogany colored body that supports a nice tan head of foam. The aroma offers up inviting notes of plum to date dark fruity esters blending nicely with caramel candy and molasses leading to a soft supple and growing spicy whiskey like notes. The taste delivers a harmony of yum. I get smooth slick integrated plums and dates soaking in kettle caramelization and some molasses. To midway spicy rye whiskey barrel and booze start to break up the soft sweet English Barleywine depths. This is well integrated with pleasing balance between the barrel treatment and the smooth sweet beer notes. I approve. If I'm looking for a barelywine to drink this one will always work.

On tap at Revolution Brewpub, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out caramel malt, bready malt, and earthy rye. Flavour is rich, with lots of caramel malt, earthy notes, resinous hops, and bready malt. Sweet and caramely with just enough spicy malt to back. Robust and intense. Excellent in small quantities.
