About This Beer
The 3 Sons and Tripping Animals brewing teams are close friends, and they’ve brewed a few previous collaborations together. This is the first time they’ve done an English-style Barleywine though, and it sold out within a day when 3 Sons’ released it at their taproom.
Tasting Notes
Every sip swims with a balance of dark plums, raisins, and malty breadiness. Let it warm just a little while sipping, and the brew reveals delectable undertones of caramel, toffee, toast, and molasses.

(I’m assuming this is not barrel-aged, since there is zero barrel presence) For a non-BA barleywine, this is great. If I’m missing something and it’s actually barrel-aged, subtract 1.75 because it’s missing plenty of what’s supposed to be there.

This doesn't taste like the barleywine I typically love. It's sickly sweet with notes of some kind of weird cough syrup.

Nice fruit note up front. A well blended barleywine that is very smooth.
