Next we took a portion of The Shape of Brewing, another wine-style ale, and innoculate the same yeast used to mature Sherry Wine, by introducing controlled micro-amounts of oxygen we slowly oxidized the beer, developing groundbreaking aromas and flavors.
Then it came the art of assemblage, the mix between the Heirloom Barleywine, the Oxidized Wine-Style Ale made something unique. To round the edges we picked another favorite barrel, filled with a luscious Spelt Stout, and made a unique combination, set to impress whoever has an opportunity to grab this can. This can was filled with live yeast to you can expect the flavors to further develop with time.

3rd February 2023 Can. Pretty much a clear deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Light and smooth palate, semi dry with decent fine carbonation coming through on the back end. Light smooth malts, a decent creamy caramel streak. The Port barreling comes through clearly with good berry fruits, both dark and red berries, blackberry and ripe sorta bruised strawberry. Plus just general Port Wine mature berry goodness! Smooth and semi dry finish brings forth a little more of that caramel vibe and something of the secondary sherry barrel, which is the principally described barrel but, flavour wise, for me, the secondary but cherry-on-top aspect.A rather good barleywine that serves it's barrel very well indeed.

30th October 2023, Chez Sophie Monthly Gathering, five guys, beers and bollox. 440ml can: BB 17th May 2025, cheers Simon for this offering. Brown bodied, moody looking, solid sweet Barley Wine, needs to be sipped in slow time rather than gulped at a tasting where time is short.
