Our beloved blended barleywine is making its triumphant return in the most baller way possible. Already boasting an absolutely stunning profile of oak, caramel, and toffee as a result of extensive time spent in bourbon barrels, this liquid stunner was then loaded up with damn near irresponsible levels of vanilla, cocoa, & pecans, yielding a beverage that’s sure to hit the launch button on each and every one of your taste buds.

Bomber at bottle share. Inky, slick black pour, small foamy head. Chocolaty aroma, notes of vanilla. Taste brings in some nutty flavors, roasty, sweet, smooth.

Medium chestnut, and hazy. Big bourbon bw aroma, some sweet sticky golden syrup stuff and lots of bourbon. There's vanilla in there too, a bit. Big sticky, syrupy, with lots of bourbon, vanilla and a light pecan character. Boozy in the finish. Super rich, though. While some of the elements don't blast through the malt and alcohol, it's good.

22oz bottle pours out dark brown topped with a tan head. Nose is great big sweet caramel toffee malts bourbon barrel chocolate roast nuts. Taste is more of the nice sweet caramel bourbon barrel vanilla chocolate nuts. Very good.
