Named in honor of our brewery cat Elizabeth. On the border of English + American styles. English Malts add nice caramel/toffee notes while American hops add a fruity touch

Pint can from Wine Warehouse, 5/14/23. New brewery! Brewery # 2159. USA # 1753. New York # 71. Dark red-brown, thin tan head, average retention. Aroma of toffee, molasses, raisin, banana, roast. Taste is toffee, vanilla, cherry, molasses, raisin. Booze well hidden. A bit of warming. Well balanced. Just a tiny bit thin. Overall nice and a good intro to this brewery!

$4.10 can, WW. Going to drink the regular and barrel aged side by side. Pours murky brown with a soft beige head. Nose is toffee, caramel; caramel is more subdued in this version. Flavor is cherry, caramel, molasses. Smooth, not boozy. Not overly sweet.

Can from explosivedog, shared with Chris M: pours muddy light brown with off white head. Aroma is a load of maltinesss, some dark fruits, some toast, with a mellow earthy hop undertone. Not too bitter or too intense of a barley wine. Very malty flavor. Dark fruity notes are there as well.
