Kros Strain Brewing Company Barrelywine Vol.12 Burrowing Owl

What the brewers say

“Rich flavors and aromas of orange, oak, baker’s chocolate, caramel, vanilla.”

What our panel thought

“Buttery lactones combine with fig notes. Earthy tangerine and orange meld with hints of caramel, toffee, and leather. Luscious grape malt and dry caramel flavors, with a wild counter-play between syrupy malt sweetness and citric tartness. Hints of oak and vanilla.”

What our editors thought

“Deep vinous aroma with subtle citrus glimpses. Rich and refined in the sip, big and muscular with sweet, glazed orange cinnamon-roll highlights.”
