A blend of 33-month-old barrel-aged English Barleywine. Extended aging in Buffalo Trace, Heaven Hill, and Willett Rye barrels has coaxed out complex layers of dried dark fruit, caramel, fresh leather, warming spices, figgy pudding, oak char, cocoa powder, and demerara sugar from this mahogany liquid. Part of a four-pack of special releases (2 barleywines and 2 stouts).

Pint can crowler pours with a deep mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up plums, dates, molasses, thin rich deep slappin' malts flowing into soft spirit barrel goodness. The taste delivers smooth slick slippery sweet malts, brown sugar stewed plums, dates and then molasses like sweetness. Below the sweet dark fruity esters lurks integrated smooth barrel booze notes. This works really well and includes a bit of warming of the belly due to the large abv. This is right up my alley. Banger.

Pours a fairly thick, caramel-brown, with small, slowly-building, tan head. Aroma is booze, dark fruit, chocolate. Flavors follow. Soft mouthfeel. Need to really sip this one--the high ABV is very present in aroma and flavor.
