misinterpreted and reinterpreted each others
words... and beers. The study of words’ original
intentions has always been a thing - see Yaska,
Sanskrit Grammarian circa 7th Century BCE. Same with
beer. Which leads us to the question - what
exactly is a barleywine? Etymology is a blend of
two very different but equally delicious
variations of barleywine. One a rich, toasty, black
barleywine (Etym) and the other a classic, 12
month barrel aged American style (Ology). After
months of study and reflection, we blended the
two with a third, younger American barleywine to
create this bold and balanced beer.

On tap at Chuck's - Seward Park. Pours very murky muddy brown with a beige head. Fantastic whiskey barrel character, rich caramelized sugars, and dried fruits on the nose. Flavour has a bready malt base, dried fruits, tons of caramelized dark sugars, and a ton of rich whiskey barrels that are well-integrates with the base beer. This is phenomenal.

Taster at Fort George, 2023 vintage. Near black pour with a thin, tight beige head. Aroma is malty, molassess, bourbon and pit fruit. Taste comes in strong, sweet, brown sugar, prunes and a hefty hit of bourbon. Deep and rich. Decadent.

On tap at Fort George - Lovell Taproom, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is decadent and complex, with intense bourbon barrels, brown sugar, dark dried fruits, and dark sugars — damn. Flavour is sublime, with intense bourbon, brown sugar, molasses, and dark dried fruits. Intensely rich, decadent and wonderfully blended. Outstanding extreme beer.
