What Our Editors Thought

“Classic hops push through in the aroma, for an American feel with just a touch of vintage barrel. The bitterness carries through significantly in the sip, lean, with an austere barleywine intensity.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Earthy grassy-citrus and pine notes in the aroma blend with caramel, toffee, chocolate malt, a hint of boozy heat. In the sip, the barrel character’s tannic note accentuates the bitter hop elements.”

What the Brewers Say

“Barleywine aged 14 months in port-finished whiskey barrels.”
