In collaboration with the awesome Oskar Blues from Colorado, we’ve created this big, twisted 10.5% American style barley wine. With big boozy aromas that’ll swirl round your nostrils and a sweet viscosity that’ll cover your tongue from top to tip, this is a beer for people who enjoy nonsense and walking on tightropes. Even when the Circus packs up and leaves, you’re left with a lingering warmth and bitterness playing in your month.

Bottle from Cocktails, Littleborough. Hazed reddish-brown, but with a glow to it, and a small head. Certainly strong tasting, with some alcohol infused caramels to be enjoyed, if you can! There's not a great deal of sweetness, and a little less stickiness than expected for this strength. Decent barley wine.

Pours reddish mahogany, not much foam at all. Aroma hits you with burnt sugar, caramel, nice sweet decadent feel to it. Bitterness is there and alcohol too, some smoke is coming out from the finish. Something herbal in there too. Decent and pleasurable.

Bottle shared. Thanks Juan! Pours a slightly hazy deep amber with a small tan head. Big caramel and toasted toffee nose with some brown sugar and light grass hops. Well-balanced on the palate with lots of caramel and brown sugar standing out. Sweet with a full body. Finish has some nice bitter hops.
