Emerging from the depths of the unknown, this Brandy Barrel-Aged Barleywine embodies the characters of the brandy barrels while retaining the rich complexity of the base beer. A delicious monster!

From a 440ml can on 1/8/2026. Pours an opaque caramel with a small and fast disappearing head. Has a strong nose of apples, caramel, toffee and dried fruit. All of those are present on the dip with the apple holding sway. Syrupy palate with moderate carbonation. A lovely big winter sipper.
