Phillips is cooling off Mid-January by revealing a special 341mL brew that has archaealcohologists salivating over their topographical maps.
It’s called Mass Extinction Ice Barley Wine and just like the dinosaurs this beer was ice-aged at glacial temperatures. It was frozen 3 times during the Fermentaceous Period causing the remaining liquid to distill into naturally-sweetened nectar, and driving the ABV up to a mammoth 12%. Enjoy responsibly.
Phillips’ Mass Extinction Ice Barley Wine is available for a limited time in select private retail outlets.

If not for the ridiculous price tag, this would have been a drain pour. Deep amber, small beige head fades immediately. Salty peppery nutty alcoholic nose.Sweaty fatty nutty start, dark fruits, harsh alcohol heat as it warms. Long hop finish. Why bother ?

341mL bottle, pours a dark mahogany with little head. Aroma is quite vegetal (as manuchampions denotes), with stale bread, toasted nuts, and some caramel sweetness. Flavour has that same vegetal quality, with prunes, figs, dates, etc. caramel, and harsh booziness. Finish is hot / boozy with vegetal and sweet caramel notes. Phillips can't do barley wines and this is no exception.
