A beautiful upside in this stretch of DAYS LOSING LIGHT... the solemn beauty of winter barrel releases. Concocted from the blend of two Maplewines (Barleywines utilizing maple syrup as a major part of the fermentable sugars), these liquids rested in a blend of Old Fitzgerald barrels for 34 months before syncing with a barrel of Barleywine aged for W.L. Weller 7yr Barrels for 42 months. The resulting liquid amber sat on Comoros Vanilla Beans for a sweet snapshot of solace inspired by the frigid Northeast. Pouring a burnt mahogany, this hybrid smells of bourbon, treacle, marshmallow and oak; a precursor to the rounded tastes of toffee, maple syrup, vanilla, bourbon, and fudge that follow.

On tap at MBCC 2025 (Yellow session), pours black with a small beige head. Aroma has lots of brown sugar, toffee, and bourbon barrels in great cohesion. Flavour is complex, with big brown sugar, bourbon barrels, light vanilla, and toffee. Complex, refined, and integrated. Excellent.
