Electric Roads is inspired by the iconic warm sound of the Fender Rhodes electric piano. This blend of barrels showcases notes of toffee, maple cream, vanilla, almond, dark sweet cherry, and dried apricot. The rich toffee tone resonates from the nose all the way through the comforting finish. Electric Roads used multiple double-barrel-aged barleywine threads that boosted the ABV, bolstered the oak character, and rounded out the intensity via additional oxidation from racking one barrel to another.

500ml bottle pours out cola brown topped with a small tan head. Nose is sweet caramel toffee malts bourbon barrel goodness and some pit fruit. Taste is more of the nice sweet malts pit fruit bourbon barrel vanilla touch.
