What Our Editors Thought
“Faint red fruit, apple skin, cellar must, and sweet caramel notes in the aroma. Generally malt-forward with slight leather, a bit of pleasant oxidation, and an aged character.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Toffee, sherry, sweet vermouth notes in the nose with an almost peaty smoke note. Subtle caramel, light chocolate malt in the background. Sherry and vermouth notes are more balanced and restrained in the flavor. As the sip lingers, notes of vanilla and oak emerge.”
What the Brewers Say
“Barleywine aged 15 months in Pedro Ximénez sherry barrels.”
