Brewed with high-quality Vermont maple syrup and beechwood smoked barley, this big, rich barleywine was then aged for an extended period of time in American rye whiskey barrels. The result is a complex, malty ale with notes of smoke, maple, rye, vanilla, and oak.
This beer is one of AleSmith owner Peter Zien's most awarded home brew recipes, here rebrewed and barrel-aged for the 2019 Order of the Anvil club.

Bottle, 75cl, at Cafe Humlen. Sweet, warming, nicely carbonated. Dark dried fruit, caramel, toffee, fruit caramel and some alcohol. Quite bitter, overpowering the sweetness. Pine cones. Lasting finish. A bit too heavy, but delicious indeed. 848416 260808

Bottle. Bit of a slow gusher. Pours cloudy mahogany, large beige head, good lacing. Aroma is whiskey forward for sure. Light smoke, loads of dark fruits, raisins, prunes, hints of maple, toffee, dust. Flavor is similar, less fruit and maple, more vanilla, bourbon, cocoa, toffee, dry. Medium sweet, light bitter. Full body, soft mouthfeel
