About This Beer

This Barleywine is an unprecedented Anchorage x Evil Twin collab! Two of the most hype breweries in the game teamed up to make this absolute show stopper!

A Deal with Evil is a stunning blend of each brewery's Barleywine. Evil Twin shared their Barleywine aged 28 months in Sine Qua Non Red Wine barrels, then aged in Henry McKenna 12 Year Bourbon barrels for another 12 months. Then they blended with Anchorage’s A Deal with the Devil, aged 8 months in Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels and 7 months in Woodford Reserve Double Oaked bourbon barrels. The results are breathtaking!

Tasting Notes

Chewy currents of caramel coated dates and sticky toffee swirl with whiskey vanilla and barrel spice on every sip. A massive 17% ABV lurks in the dark, decadent depths.

Really complex barleywine base, with an unmistakable red wine vibe from the barrel-aging regimen. Great stuff, as is always the case with this series.
