In 2018, we designed an English Barleywine, Potentiality, to be optimized for extended barrel aging. Sequentially aged in two fresh barrels for 15 months each, the base beer has evolved to achieve its Final Form.

Final Form: Optimization was aged in a Tawny Port barrel for 15 months then transferred to a VSOP Cognac barrel for an additional 15 months.
