About This Beer
The Alaskan crew started by aging some of their most opulent Imperial Stouts and Barleywines in a variety of Weller, Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, Buffalo Trace, and Heaven Hill bourbon barrels for one to one-and-a-half years! Then they blended the barrels and finished it all on Tahitian vanilla beans.
Tasting Notes
Velvety currents of rich dark mocha, caramelly dates, and vanilla oak cascade through each sip. An enormous 15.5% ABV hides amongst the luxurious dessert flavors.

Oh yeah!!! This is good!!! Only three sips in and I am very impressed. Jet black in color. Looks like a deep dark stout but tastes much different. Mocha, raisin, toffee, boozy flavors.... I am a few more sips in now and its getting even better. This is the kind of beer I just love!! Complex, delicious, fun and exciting to drink. The even better news is I have another one and it will be aged for a few years!!

Thick, sweet and full of flavors of dark chocolate, milk chocolate, toffee, raisins, vanilla, oak and bourbon. Liquid dessert without being too sweet.

Vanilla, bourbon, very rich, boozy, and way too sweet for a strong ale. It tasted way more like a pastry stout than a barleywine.
