This luscious style is the richest of modern Ales, requiring intensity of time, care, and ingredients to produce. This project first fermented in stainless before aging 2 years in second-use rum barrels, developing a silky body and decadent notes of plum, amaretto, and maple. Named in memory of our sweetest brewery pup.

375 ml bottle, thanks to ClarkVV. Aroma is nice rum, and light oak tannins. The tannic oak follows through in the flavor. I guess Barreled Souls has ruined me for a lot of BA brews. This is below average.

Bottled Jan 2023, drunk 12/8/24. Clear medium amber. Light beige head to spotty cover. Big rum with spice and floral notes and toffee and caramel. Round red fruits and a hint of vanilla with lingering bread and barrel tannin. Red fruit, floral rum and cane sugar with fruity toffee and almost a tartness. Medium-full body, high attenuation. The rum treatment is well-done. Maybe a bit too much classic bready Barleywine malt character, though.
