Barleywine aged in Savage and Cooke Lip Service Rye and The Burning Chair Bourbon barrels for 8 months. Then double barrel-aged in Weller Reserve Bourbon barrels for an additional 11 months.
This is a style that we have a deep respect for as it is one of the most complex and time consuming styles to brew. Our one-thousandth batch sounded deserving of an epic beer so we chose this storied style that has a tremendously flavorful history. As you might think brewing such a bold beer as this was a little daunting for us so we were more than relieved when barleywine master Gabe Fletcher of @anchoragebrewing signed on to collaborate and tutor us on how to make a world class barleywine.

Bottle at share. Dark brown, almost clear, itti bitty head fades away. Boozy aroma, brown sugar. Taste is the same, brown sugar and big warm boozy flavors. The usual suspects like malty and chocolate are there as a supporting cast. So smooth, so rich.

Bottle thanks to Toby. Pours a dark brown hue with a small white head. A big sweet sugary malt nose. Sugary, huge malts, berry, hot but drinkable. Small oxidation.
