Our second Chronology Series™ - a Scotchology, if you will - is winding down. We brewed a wee heavy - known for rich, malt-forward flavors - and set it to age in bourbon barrels. Every six months, we took a quarter of the barrels, blended them and bottled them. This fourth bottling in the four-part series represents the nuances imparted to the base beer after 24 months of barrel aging. We hope you enjoy the culmination of flavors in this final installment in our two-year long journey with a wee heavy... and barrels and time.

Aus der Flasche (bottled 26.05.2017) im 2023-03 getrunken. Hier zeigt sich das dieses Chronology dichter am Chronology 12 mit seinen leichten Aromen von Vanilie, Karamell und etwas Honig ist. Und nur eine ganz filigrne saure/rauchige Entwicklung wie das Chronology 18 durchlaufen hat. Spannend!

0.75 l bottle shared with Ana, Lukica, Severinac and others at Goblet Beer Store, Zagreb. Darker brownish red, oily, small head. Nice dried fruit profile, fruit jam, molasses, some peat, some oak, bubblegum. Flavour is dried fruit, oak, molasses, some alcohol but nicely balanced, alcohol hidden. More like a barley wine. Spice, alcohol, moderate finish.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is malt forward with lots of caramel and toffee notes. Light chocolate and treacle notes with lighter roast and leather. Moderate raisin notes with hints of cherry, fig and prune. Medium bourbon and light oak notes. Some alcohol spice. Pours a murky brown with auburn hues and a medium sized, medium thick, tan head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers for a bit. No lacing and long legs. Flavor is moderately sweet with medium to medium high bitterness. Lots of caramel and toffee with some lighter chocolate and treacle. A bit of leather as well. Medium light oak and moderately strong bourbon notes with medium low alcohol spice. Moderate raisin and light fig and prune notes. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and medium alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer. Lots of bourbon and malt notes with some nice, lighter oak notes. Alcohol is a bit more noticeable in this version, but it's a really nice beer.
