Barrel Manager JC Klecko aged this barleywine for 12 months in Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels, then transferred it into Taconic bourbon barrels for 5 more months. A well-rounded example of the style with traditional English barleywine descriptors complementing each other wonderfully.

Bottle shared by CLW—thanks, Chris! Virtually opaque dark brown, nice viscosity. Aroma is strong caramel, brown sugar, hint of cinnamon, dark fruit, Barrel enters the equation as it warms. Taste is strong, well balanced caramel, brown sugar, dark fruit, raisin, bourbon. Smooth texture, medium bodied, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Exceptional.

500 ml from the brewery. Batch #2 bottled 04/ 2024. Aroma is toffee, mild maple, brown sugar, and a very mild bourbon. Holy hell. The malt is layered. Toffee, raisins, brown sugar hints and a very soft lingering bourbon. Absolutely no alcohol burn at 14.7% ABV. Absolutely wonderful! 🏆
