This is our Black Barleywine. Same base recipe as the wax can Omnipolloscope beer, but double oaked. 6 months in Willett bourbon barrels, then transferred to Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Barrels for an additional 7 months. And it’s wax dipped in glow in the dark wax!!!

Bottle shared with the team. It pours darkest brown with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, intoxicating vanilla, coconut, creamy, boozy bourbon, toffee, fudgey, creamy, sugary, tangy dried fruits, raisin, sultana and earth. The taste is dry, bitter- sweet, toothy, chewy, toffee fudge, dark roasted malt, bourbon soaked oak, green coconut, roasty, toasty, umami, spice, cacao, warming spice and umami with a dry, toasty finish. Fulsome body and fine carbonation. Plenty to enjoy, perhaps more roasted vibes than I would expect from a traditional barley wine, but fun stuff nonethey.

Bottle shared at Ghost Whale Brixton. Pours black with a dirty tan head. Aroma is caramel, boozy dried fruits, molasses, bourbon comes through. Taste is boozy dried fruit, caramel, boozy bourbon, molasses, hint of cocoa. Nice boozy burn on the finish but superbly well balanced and loads of bourbon character. Definitely one of the best barley wines I've tried.
