Westbound & Down aged this Barleywine in bourbon and rye barrels for between 13 and 23 months.

Tasting Notes
Expect rich malty flavors with hints of date and nuances of caramel. A tiny touch of barrel char should blend with whispers of oak, leading to a boozy, whiskey-kissed finish at 14.3% ABV.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark brown with a small transient yellowish head. Aroma of very, very nice dark malt. Full bodied. Far from dry. There’s a lot of very nice English malt. There’s definitely some bourbon and wood. I think there’s a lot of floral hop. The flavor is just amazingly good.

8 ounce can from Tavour. Chestnut brown color. Brief beige head. Aromas of sweet toasted malt, bourbon, oak, toffee and toasted walnuts. First sip is sweet and sticky. Notes of toffee, vanilla, oak, whiskey and raisins. Remarkably smooth for a 14.3 booze bomb.

Can thanks to Chow. Pours a hazy brown with small off white head that lasts. The aroma is leather and dark fruit. Medium body, woody, leather, raisin, boozy, very good.
