Awakening from a long slumber nestled amongst bourbon soaked oak we proudly present our new Bourbon Barrel Aged Barleywine, Creation’s Shadow. This beer was designed to be a celebration of all things malt and is an example of how a few simple ingredients can be transformed to create a beer with many layers of complexity and nuance. Creation’s Shadow was brewed in the vein of English-Style Barleywines choosing to focus on using 2 simple english malts and a restrained hopping schedule. A lengthy 6 hour boil drew out rich flavors of dark caramel, toffee and raisins as the wort slowly caramelized in the kettle. We left Creation’s Shadow to slowly mature over 18 months in small format bourbon barrels from our friends at Mad River Distillers
