Sunriver Brewing Wood Series: Bourbon Barrel Barleywine Style Ale
What the brewers say
“Notes of orange blossom, caramel candies, cherry cordials, vanilla Creamsicles.”
What our panel thought
“Pacific Northwest hops announce their citrus-and-pine presence. The same players sit on the flavor bench with bourbon oak barrel and smooth strong alcohol. A woody dry finish with lingering spice.”
What our editors thought
“Orange hop notes in the aroma with chocolate underpinning. Leans bitter but balanced in the sip, with woody and bitter chocolate notes, burnt bread crust, and just a hint of softening citrus before it dives into a dry tannin-forward finish.”
