2022 Vintage
We brewed our barleywine in Fall 2021 with 100% barley malt grown and malted by Five Fields Farms on the Saanich Peninsula.
Freshly emptied Barbados rum barrels then housed the beer, allowing the rich, fruity flavours of the rum and notes of vanilla to meld seamlessly with the Barleywine. The resulting smooth and mellow flavour is the perfect celebratory offering to our 8th anniversary.

473mL can, pours a cloudy muddled orange with a small beige head. Aroma is full of intense rum barrels, with lots of booze, caramel and rum. Flavour is extremely boozy and somewhat harsh, with tons of rum, booze, and caramel. Lots of rum and booziness. Harsh.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear amber with small off white head. Rum, caramel, dark fruits. Could use a touch more depth, decent.

473 ml can. Pours a dark mahogany color with no head. Aromas of rum, candi sugar, dark fruit and toasted malts. Flavors of boozy rum, caramel, candi sugar, raisins and soft bready malts. Sweet with hot finish. Tasty, but I think the rum got away on this one and it would have been much nicer if more subtle.
