The crackling magic of Chevallier Heritage Malt courses through this English-style barleywine. A combination of bourbon, brandy, and VSOP cognac barrels cast a spirited spell over the brew and mix to manipulate space and time, opening a viscous liquid portal into what surely must be immortality.

On my second flight in OC Local Taproom, 20th January 2023. All this flight had was three Bottle Logic brews! Loved this Bourbon heavy brew. Deep amber body, thin beige head. Aroma was all about the spirit barrels the beer had sat in, the taste also dominated by them, with Bourbon a strong winner flavour wise.

Brewery draught, 22 vintage, 12/8/22. Seems clear. Dark auburn-mahogany. Small, dark beige head. Yeah...that's gonna do nicely. Rich, thick, aromatically dense layers of malt and various barrel. No alcohol, tons of toffee, caramel, vanilla... Soft, rich, sweetness balanced with various barrel, grain, biscuit, moderate acidity and strong but not overdone vanilla. Syrupy-rich-malty, of course though not as much as some of the top tier ones. That's not a bad thing, and there's tons of even barrel character and interesting malt and fruity yeast fermentation character. Love the chocolate and acidity (raisin, plum, brandy) on the finish. No booze somehow.

Sweetish, smooth and malty with some raisins, cognac, vanilla, oak, toffee and caramel. Complex and heavy

Medium body, oily. A bit translucent dark reddish brown. Sweet and a bit boozy, cognac, caramel malts, raisins. Really smooth, sophisticated, yummy.

Flaska från Bottle Logic, 2021. 11,4%. Mörk kastanjebrun, lätt beige krona. Bärigt, svarta vinbär, mycket fat, lätt menthol-ton, kolaremmar, brunt socker. Smakar verkligen av faten. I jämförelse med andra ölen under kvällen så kanske något lätt, relativt sett. Men gott.

Dang I love barleywines and this is fantastic too, slight stonefruit brandy note on tons of caramel chocolate bourbon smoothness.

Bottle shared by Erik. Dark brown with small beige head. Malty, toffee, vanilla aroma. Oak, raisins, vanilla taste. Some sweetness. In theory I should love this but it feels a little bit incoherent and that the different barrels don't fully cooperate with each other.

500ml bottle pours out dark amber topped with a small head. Nose is nice big sweet malts some pitfruit and a heavy barrel kick. Taste is more of the nice sweet malts and bourbon barrel heat blend.
