Hillbilly is our Barleywine aged for seven months in Angel’s Envy barrels. Full-bodied, deep mahogany in color, nice and hoppy, with layers of dark fruit, oak, and caramel, finishing dry. The 2011 version was aged in Heaven Hill barrels.

Blue waxed 750mL, acquired in trade from the generous GT2, pours with an amber body that supports a light tan head. The aroma offers up caramel, smooth bourbon, a light yet thick malt sort of nuttiness and then vanilla and oak. Nice. The taste is nice and rich and smooth with a firm edge of booziness. I get caramel, sweet malts, a bit of nuttiness and then a good load of boozy barrel notes. Toward the finish there’s smooth boozy bourbon and some vanilla mixed with blunted spicy oak giving this thing more depth and interest. Great sipper that will only get better with another year or more in the cellar.

Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a hazy dark amber color with a white head. Has a fruity malty bourbon caramel dark fruit aroma. Sweetish malty bourbon caramel flavor with hints of dark fruit. Has a sweetish malty bourbon caramel finish.
