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.

Dark amber/brown colour. Smell of alcohol, malt, light vanilla. Good body, moderate sweetness, medium malt depth, some spicy rye, and bold Bourbon. Not too boozy, but the alcohol is there. Very good

On tap at the Monk's Pub, Chicago. Dark brown with beige head. Lots of caramel, dried fruit, sweet, alcohol coming through. Some bitterness in finish. Full bodied.

Canned 11-20-2020. So that's what Revolution hype is about. I get it. Not a huge rye lover, but this is exceptionally balanced and still very flavourful. Herbal rye, sweet maltyness, soft bourbon and some light spice from the rye barrels. Great.

Can shared by MT. Dark rusty brown with beige head. Toffee, oak, rye. Sticky sweet sugar. Quite in your face. Touch of coconut and dried fruiet as as well, leading into some red winegum territory. Good stuff!

Mmmm concentrated rye. Feels less refined than 2019 so maybe age does a lot to these cans or batch differences but still sweet and spicy boozy caramel smoothness. *Edit* at room temp the "fresh" edge falls off and ugh, perfect.

Can thanks to Virby44. Big, bourbon aroma. Toffee. Noticeable rye. Dank and wet oak. Taste is sweet with sticky, brown sugar on top of a mild, rye bitterness. Unexpected papaya note at the finish and, of course, bourbon. Full bodied, sticky, warming. Scary ABV. A nice sipper.

5 oz glass at Orange & Brew. Light, but hazy brown color, just a slight ring of foam at where. Smell has nice whiskey/Bourbon notes, a side of faded hops. Thick mother comes up first, then a slightly sweet and heavily malty note, like any good barleywine. Frankly, it gets yummier as I go down even this little glass.
