Cleveland was once known as the Forest City. Trees remind us that we continue to grow if we let our roots take hold and soak in the good that is all around us. Allowing this Barleywine style ale to age for over a year in bourbon barrels, we have soaked up all the good that the wood and time can provide. Expect notes of oaky tannins, orange marmalade and sticky toffee. Enjoy life and continue to grow with us.

16oz can pours out amber topped with a sand head. Nose is rich caramel toffee malts and a nice bourbon barrel. Taste is more of the nice bourbon barrel upfront then plenty sweet malts.
