About This Beer
The team began Barrel Aged What Even Is Black Barleywine Anyway? with a dark, robust base built on English malts. Then they racked it into Heaven Hill bourbon barrels for 36 months. After that, the crew blended in some fresh Barleywine in the same style, then conditioned the whole mixture on almonds, hazelnuts, cacao, and vanilla.
Tasting Notes
Rich cocoa, raisin, and molasses aromas draw you in for a taste. On the sip, dark fruit and brown sugar tones swirl into notes of milk-chocolate-covered caramel, silky vanilla custard, and an understated nuttiness. Hints of light-roast coffee and molasses trickle through the back end as it all finishes with some lingering whiskey warmth.
