Barleywine Ale Aged in Bourbon Barrels with Strawberries
Yes, Strawberry Jacket. A slightly leaner blend of bourbon barrel-aged English Barleywines provides a base for the delicate nuances of fresh strawberry to shine while retaining the same balance we expect of our beloved Straight Jacket. Reminiscent of fresh, juicy strawberry atop a crème brûlée, this sipper can accompany dessert or stand on its own. Enjoy now or store cold.

Strawberry…..hmmm….usually nothing I want in my beer
Worked fine in this one. Very subtle
Toffee, malty, fruity and oak
[Bottle (can) share in the park outside Mikkeller and Friends in Copenhagen, Denmark]

Medium brown, thin head. Aroma has the same base fig, brown sugar and fruity rich malt, but with strawberry. Has more carbonation, so lighter body. Jammy strawberry, chewy malt base, again those more English bw flavours with vanilla and tannic dryness.

12 oz can. Aroma has notes of toffee, vanilla, strawberry, earth. Pours opaque caramel brown with an immediately collapsing beige head. Taste is bittersweet and a little tart with flavors of toffee, vanilla, bourbon and strawberry. This is so good.

Can, courtesy of Sergey; 14.2% ABV
Cloudy amber colour. Perfumey malt, vanilla, it reminds me of some not-top-tier English Barely Wine; strong bourbon. Sweet, vanilla (from the barrels), cream, and strawberry jam; hot alcohol.
Weird, but it's good.

Can shared by Matt. Pours clear amber with a small beige head and some lacing. Aroma is bourbon, toffee, dust, strawberries. Flavor is similar, light plus sweet, light plus bitter. Medium body. Its not bad by any means, but fruit does not belong in barleywine.

Strawberry feels a bit light on this compared to last batch, but still fantastic boozy base bourbon bil.
