Bourbon Barrel Aged Barley Wine w/ Mostra Coffee

Our Barleywine-style ale with Mostra Brazilian roast cold brew coffee is aged in whiskey barrels and left to rest for twelve months. MOSTRA THE GREAT pours a chestnut amber hue with an off white foam. Hints of caramel, oak, whiskey, sweet bread and coffee aromas are balanced by a sweet malty character dominated by caramel, oak and vanilla with trace amounts of whiskey and coffee.

12 oz. bottle, pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Aroma reveals toasted caramel, a touch of bourbon, and some brown sugar. Flavour is rich, with lots of caramel, dark fruits, bourbon barrels, and a little brown sugar. Cohesive and rich, yet the mouthfeel is rather light. Very good.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is roasted coffee, candi sugar, raisin, dates, caramel. Slick body, similar flavors to nose, nice sweetness, boozy, enjoyed this.
