English-Style Barleywine Ale Aged in Bourbon Barrels

Fremont Brewing began as a dream in 2008. Years later, our dream has come true in each and every one of you, our craft beer family. And like every family, we have had our ups and our downs, but we keep coming back together knowing we are stronger together. In your hands is a special nod to you, a gift for now that will continue to give many years from now should you have the patience to wait…Brew 6000. This English-style barleywine ale uses floor-malted English barley, Noble hops, and is aged in 10-15 year-old, single use bourbon barrels for 16 months to bring you a complex and subtle craft beer flavor experience.

22 oz bottle shared by tfontana. Aroma is English toffee, prune, plum. Flavor is the same as aroma. Booze is pretty hidden. Real rich in layers of malt. Really sweet. Not sure how long this should be held. Bold richness.

Сильная бочка в аромате, немного бурбона при этом, немного специй и орехов, карамель. Цвет темно коричневый, пенки нету. Вкус другой совершено, если сравнивать с запахом. Бочки намного меньше, она лишь в конце. В основе карамель сладкая, патока приятная, сладость есть но она в отличном балансе. Финиш теплый. Отличное пиво.
