Each silky, medium-bodied pour swells with aromas of pipe tobacco, molasses, and medjool dates. Malty sweetness washes across your palate in smooth, roasty caramel waves that engulf whispers of vanilla custard, dried fig, and a dusting of cocoa powder. Every finish lingers like a slow fade of toffee sauce.

And this Barleywine provides a gentle flame to warm your belly — in the form of a skillfully hidden 13% ABV.
