Our “glass-aged” barley wine, which we lagered in a stainless steel tank before bottle conditioning. We’ve been sitting on these bottles allowing for time and oxygen to do it’s thing—bringing complexity and depth. Sensory notes of peanut brittle, olorosso sherry, twangy pomegranate molasses, date-walnut, maple sugar, dried fig, leather, tobacco, dark toffee, loam, wine macerated sultanas.

Bottle in VT. Great stuff, fairly quaint in that it’s just the elements, caramel and toffee, some ripening berries, toasted bready malts. Super enjoyable.

Solo cup showing dark brown with sparse white foam.
The nose shows intense notes of raisins, figs, and oak bark with dry forest floor.
The palate is lightly carbonated and medium bodied. Moderately sweet with moderately intense notes of raisins and molasses followed by some burnt wood notes on the finish.

Bottle shared by Chris D: pours mahogany with beige head. Aroma is dark fruitiness, maltiness, some earth. Taste is hefty notes of dark fruit, no alcohol burn, extremely smooth. Quite good/
