We left the extreme malty and hoppy characteristics of our American Barleywine to writhe in the madness of Four Roses Bourbon Barrels for 7 months. Prepare yourself.

Bottle shared by someone at Arrogant Sour 2019, thanks!
Dark brown body, with a creamy, dark beige head.
Aroma of caramel, dried fruits, bourbon, some chocolate.
Tastes similar, with more chocolate, some coconut, some alcohol.
Full, oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes warm, sweet, a bit dry, with chocolate, toffee, bourbon, dried fruits.
Very nice. A bit on the sweet side, while well balanced, with nice bourbon notes. Alcohol is a bit noticeable, but fits in well. Very nice sipper. Score: 7 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 15
