About This Beer

Fremont causes a splash each time they release one of their near-mythical, small batch Barleywines! Every sipper in the series sells out quickly at the taproom, making them coveted additions for your beer fridge.

To craft these brews, the award-winning Fremont team uses floor-malted English barley, Noble hops, and an extended barrel-aging process — but each vintage varies in its proportions and nuances, meaning that no two are the same.

Indulge now, or store them in the cellar, since these are the very definition of special occasion brews!

Tasting Notes

A 16 month snooze in single-use bourbon barrels gave this vintage that little extra oomph. Notes of dried stone fruits, honey, and toasty malts swirl alongside delicate woodspice and vanilla imparted from the barrels. Layers of whiskey and leather add to the complexity of this sweet, smooth, and full sipper.

Thick syrupy BW body, with toffee, molasses flavors. Smooth with only mild booziness. Rich, sticky and decadent flavors linger. worth every cent.

Fantastic aromas of toffee, brown sugar, and a little whiskey. Rich, slightly syrupy mouthfeel. Notes of dark fruit, toffee/caramel, and a little boozy bourbon kick.

The Fremont BK series of barleywines are among the best for the style in the world and number 6000 is no different
