Take 1, Volume 1: Barrel #142

This triple barrel-aged barrel of DeJohnette is the first batch of barleywine that Private Press brewed. I marveled at the development of this barrel over 30 months, as new layers established themselves and the potency of the liquid grew with each new barreling. The most assertive of the single-barrel bottlings. Barrel #142 exhibits baking spice, vibrant caramel, vanilla pot de creme, dark sweet cherry, sarsaparilla, and dried orange peel.
