13th Anniversary Golden Barleywine Ale is a celebration of Fremont Brewing’s Golden Birthday and 13th Anniversary. This blend is a ~new~ golden barleywine recipe that was inspired by our recipe of Aurelius. We blended a small component of aged barleywine, which accentuated the subtle flavors of vanilla, maple, honey, oak, and leather from aging in 8-13-year-old Heaven Hill bourbon barrels. Each sip is more special than its last.

Thank you all for being a part of this journey of experimenting, pushing the limits with new recipes, and supporting our passions for our barrel-aged program. Cheers to 13 years and many more!

650 ml bottle. Pours a mahogany color with no head. Aromas of candied dark fruit (mostly raisins), bourbon, oak, caramel and sweet toasted malts. Rich, sweet Flavors follow same. Hot finish. Good stuff, but quite expensive for what is delivered.

Not as good as previous annis. 20230711, replaced an epic Gino photo with an Annie photo, sorry Gino! Still agree although I do like it cause it doesn't remind me of a cream ale like most golden stouts. It does have legitimate bil notes. +.20

Flaska från staterna. Klar kopparfärgad med tät smutsvit krona. Kakig, nästan marmeladig, med toner av apelsinskal, torkad aprikos, lätt kryddighet, fat, Bourbon. Lätt sockrig sötma. Någon sorts mix av amerikanskt och brittiskt i klassiskt snitt. Helt ok, men inte på nivå med Brew XK varianterna.

22oz @ Ryan's shared with Farees. Appearance: hazy copper with a white head. Aroma: very nice bourbon with caramel, toffee, and fruity notes. Taste: along the same lines. Nice caramel, bourbon, and creamy notes coming from the oak. Overall: this one is definitely good, probably the most sophisticated barleywine from Fremont.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Hazed golden amber with small off-white head. Toffee, honey, caramel malt, oaky bourbon, vanilla and dried fruit. Enjoyable. Admittedly verges on over-the-top.
