Notch 8 was brewed together with our friend, and skilled home brewer, Espen Westum in 2022, destined for a long rest in bourbon barrels. After three years, we decided to “double‑oak” it, transferring the beer into a new set of freshly emptied bourbon barrels to deepen its complexity. The result is a rich barleywine, layered with vanilla and oak from nearly 40 months in wood and intertwined with caramel and dried‑fruit notes developed through slow oxidation, all finished with a luscious mouthfeel. For the best experience, serve at 12–14°C.

Pålitelige notater fra samling i Jæren Fråholdslag den 21.06.25, pålitelige selv om en ølassistert hybris gjorde seg gjeldende etter hvert. Renskriving av notatene er derfor gjort i tilnærmet klinisk edru tilstand to døgn senere, kun assistert av min Motueka single hop IPA. Kvelden har forløpt uten større kalamiteter idet vi sikter oss inn på siste punkt på en omfattende agenda. 0,33 flaske: mørk rødbrun med kort skum. Mørke karamellchokolader, bringebær, vanilje, kanel og kokos. Overraskende slank for sin voltstyrke.
