This beer began on the framework of an English Barleywine - all Maris Otter base malt and a combination of English crystal and other specialty malts. Dark Muscovado sugar from Mauritius was also added both prior to and during fermentation. Following fermentation and a brief period of conditioning we transferred to 20 year-old Otard Cognac puncheons and Offley Port barrels to rest for 9 months before blending and packaging in 500 ml bottles.

2018 bottle. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is dark fruit, cognac, wood, toffee. Slick body, cognac, vanilla, oak, caramel, light dry finish, very good.

Bottle shared in New Jersey to commemorate the 3rd anniversary of the Referend. Cheers, fellas! Pours clear, deep brown with a foamy, tan head. Great stuff, with dense toffee, dried dark fruits, raisins, prunes, dates. Full bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, lightly sticky, with more dried semi-dark fruits, toffee, some woody dryness. Excellent.
