Barleywine Ale Aged in Bourbon Barrels with Maple Syrup
This dry English Barleywine, created with our friends at Chicago Maple, rested for one year in freshly emptied maple syrup bourbon barrels before being sweetened with that same syrup just prior to packaging. Subtle maple aromatics and flavor complement the classic vanilla and toffee notes we’ve come to expect without detriment to balance. Enjoy now or store cold

Still love this, I feel like the older it is the more delicious maple comes out alongside SJ. Some body is lost though but still ugh so good.

Rated at Platinum Beer Lounge - Viikki Branch HQ. Sweet and heavy with some stuffy maple syrup, toffee and hints of barrel. Too sweet, regular version was better

12oz can from Tavour. mahogany pour, tiny off-white bubbly head fades quickly. Aroma is malty, maple, toffee, fig and raisins. Taste is sweet and malty, maple, more dried fruit flavors and a nice glowing warmth

Can from Beer Republic. It pours deep ruby with a small khaki head. The aroma is soft, oily, touch of umami, sappy, resinous, oily, maple glazed donut, nutty, woody, bourbon soaked oak, toffee, vanilla fudge, dried fruits, fruit cake and brown bread. The taste is slick, thick, oily, sappy, sticky, maple syrup, vanilla fudge, maple glazed donuts, dried fruits, fruit cake, date, sugared plums, warming booze, sugary, vanilla custard, some spice, warming spice and toasted brown bread with a slick, booze maple syrup finish. Fulsome body and moderate carbonation. A bit too sweet for taste, but fun nonetheless.

Canned 12/6/21, drunk 11/27/22. Clear, ruddy-amber-auburn, small, dark beige head to ring. Nose is lovely maple, rich, honey-and-toffee malt, nicely aged with liquor-like spiciness and dryness. Vanilla, buttercream, barrel acidity/tannin, oak, jesus, it's all here. Can't believe this is so luxurious. No sign of booze nor any overly sugary/syrupy notes. No oxidation or intense specialty malt. Just lightly fruity yeast, balanced bourbon, rich but seemingly attenuated malts and lingering pepper/spice. Rich, sweet, but with balanced acidity, good barrel character but with no sharpness/harshness/heavy alcohol. Rich maple, with fruity, succulent toffee finish. This is pretty god damned incredible. Reminds of a BCBS Barleywine. Rich, malty, borderline syrupy, succulent and just balanced enough. And no alcohol showing through somehow. What a treat!
