Maltvin is an English Barleywine brewed in collaboration with our friend Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø of Evil Twin. We brewed and fermented a Barleywine with all English ingredients and then aged it in a combination of BLiS Maple Bourbon and Rittenhouse Rye barrels for 18 months before selecting a blend that exemplified notes of toffee, vanilla, nougat, and soft caramels that was then conditioned for several months in this bottle before release.

If life is round was mad barrels, this is mad barleywine notes but guess the age has to do with it too. A year can change a man and a beer, amirite? And this was delicious maple laffy taffy BiL. Thanks Clay M. !

Pours very dark brown. No head. Smell is full, bit sweet, complex, mild maple. Taste is full, intense, caramel, maple is very hidden. Bit alcohol heat. Nice.
