The toasty, vanilla-rich characters imparted by ex-bourbon casks meld perfectly with the stewed fruit and toffee-caramel malt baseline of our Barleywine, amounting to something bigger than any glass can hold. Enjoy now or cellar it for a rainy day. Even better, treat yourself to this one and grab a second for future you. Future you will be stoked.

From a 440ml can on 21/5/2023. Pours a clear deep amber with a small to medium head. The nose is sweet and malty - caramel, toffee, dark and dried fruit, finishing with a light spicy bitterness, with a hint of bourbon booze. Syrupy mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. This is a lovely barleywine - sweet, complex, very easy drinking for the size. There's a touch of booze but it's not obvious given the 12.5%. Lovely stuff.
