Ape index is the measure of a person's arm span against their height-- Ape Index Barleywine is the measure of how far we could push the brewhouse here at O.T.! We maxed the mash tun with hundreds of kilos of choice Alberta malted barley before boiling the wort for six (long) hours with lots of fresh Columbus and Cascade. This beer has a huge, syrupy body with notes of candied marmalade, Christmas tree, and a bit of sticky toffee pudding.

On tap at O.T., pours a hazy dark amber with a small white head. Aroma is very American-style, with loads of resinous hops, caramel malt, and a little brown sugar. Flavour is rich, with lots of caramel, resinous hops galore, a little molasses, and brown suar. This hearkens back to a good old American barley wine from a decade ago--good to see something like this out there now. Well-rounded, bold, yet not brutal. Excellent.

Lots of boozy notes. Clear gold with a decent white head. Sweet, tea like notes and a weird cardamom note. Weird bitter finish.
