Our Institutionalized Barleywine takes shelter in Cognac barrels for 12 months before emerging imbued with characteristics of one of the worlds most storied spirits. French oak adds character that is subdued but complex as compared to American varieties, making this a perfect beer for the best of times or the end of times. Enjoy now or store cold.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear dark brown with a large foamy tan head that persisted. Aroma of brandy and toffee. Med plus body. Malty and not at all dry. Heat helps balance the malt. A sweet treat. Kind of brandy/toffee/butterscotch.

Magus, linnaseline, karamelline, lõhnas konjak ja vaat, maitses vähem, nats alksi. Hea.
A little muted compared to ryeway but still super delicious cognac hints on top of super smooth BiL. Caramel candy for sure with some tannic love.

Burk från Revolution, 2020. Rubinröd/mahogny, klar med liten ljusbeige krona. Kraftfull och eldig med tydlig närvaro av fat. Massor av cognac, varma päron, likörpralin, sockersötma, ek och snäll kryddighet mot en botten av klassiskt brittiskt barleywine storlek större. Mycket gott.
