About This Beer

To make this opulent stunner, the team let their GABF medal-winning base slumber in bourbon barrels until it took on oaky complexities and whiskey nuances.

Tasting Notes

Each dark chestnut-brown pour greets you with tantalizing aromas of fresh figs, toffee, and woody wafts of barrel. The sip follows, exuding notes of dark fruit, rich caramel, and sticky molasses, ushering your tastebuds to a satisfying, full-bodied finish that masks a boozy 15% ABV.

I have been trying to get a hold of this for years and lives up to the expectations. Sweet, viscous mouth feel, plum, and mellow bourbon taste. Reasonably affordable if I lived in Chicago I'd been in trouble. Glad I have 3 more.

Excellent dark fruit and slight sweetness. Well crafted barleywine that aged well in the bourbon barrels.

Pours translucent brown with no head. Big sweet boozy nose hints at brown sugar and whiskey. Flavor is intense with more booze and dark sugar. Hints of vanilla, oak, bourbon and pecan. Big warming alcohol in finish.

I’m beginning to think that Revolution has no equals when it comes to quality BBA barleywine at an incredibly reasonable price. Awesome beer.

Toffee, caramel, hint of raisin, slight nuttiness all layered over soft bourbon. Definitely a sweet sipper, enjoyable barleywine.
