What Our Editors Thought
Round and fleshy baked apple notes in the nose with a light herbal freshness and just a hint of cinnamon. Warming and familiar in the flavor, reassuring and comfortable, but dries out convincingly in the finish from the oak tannin and cinnamon spice.
What Our Panel Thought
What the Brewers Say
Brewed with three kinds of rye malt and aged in a blend of apple brandy barrels and cinnamon whisky barrels, this homage to a classic American pie adds notes of baking spice and caramel apple to our award-winning barleywine.
