Our Old Fashioned cocktail-inspired barley wine reborn after additional ageing in bourbon barrels. A sweet, rich base is embellished with infusions of orange zest and augmented with bourbon aged Rye IPA and sour beer for 'bitters' style contrast.

Frothy off-white fair mostly diminishing head. Dark red amber colour. Moderate malty and light hoppy powerful aroma. Heavy bitter flavor. Long fantastic moderate bitter finish. Wine barrel more present than bourbon barrel. Creamy palate.

Bottle picked up from Beerdome Webshop,Grootegaste, Netherlands. Had this Tuesday 16th November 2021 (my birthday) we had Makkaroni mit Pfifferlingsauce and listening to Marc Riley on 6 Music. Pours deep mahogany brown with a mid sized dark cappuccino coloured head. The aroma is a multitude of scents, woody, molasses, boozy, figs, dates, raisins, it's all here. The taste following a similar path, but maltiness, toffee and a smattering of spiciness adds to the proceedings. Nice softness in the mouth, a little dryness at the end, a very pleasant but deftly sour tang. This is excellent.
