Aged in the third-use barrels that were once home to Kentucky bourbon and then our renowned Bourbon County Stout, this traditional English-style barleywine possesses the subtlety of flavor that only comes from a barrel that’s gone through many seasons of ritual care. The intricacies of the previous barrel denizens – oak, charcoal, hints of tobacco and vanilla, and that signature bourbon heat – are all present in this beer. Hearty and complex, Bourbon County Brand Barleywine is a titan and a timeline; a bold, flavorful journey through the craft of barrel aging.

Smells very harsh but the taste has aged fantastically. The bourbon has mellowed a bit, but it’s a full semisweet toffee and barley body that finishes quite smooth.

Geringe Karbonisierung. Milde Süße, intensiv malziger Beginn, cremig, zunehmend Schokolade, angenehme Röstnoten. Erkennbarer weicher Alkohol, cremig bleibend, wenig Kaffee. Intensiv, langer malziger Abgang, lecker! 10/13/11/13/11/13

Sample from 2013 bottle at Kurtkeller 009: Matilda-tastic 01 on 03/28/2014. Deep dark brownish-black color with a medium tan head that dissipates slowly. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of graham crackers, charred malt bourbon. Full-bodied with flavors of charred oak, brown sugar, roast malt and molasses. The finish is oaky with a bourbon and burnt toffee aftertaste, Really good Barley Wine overall.
