Creature Comforts Brewing Co. Tree That Owns Itself
What the brewers say
“A bourbon barrel–aged barleywine.”
What our panel thought
“Lightly smoky and spicy up front with gentle malty and oak-derived aromatics. Malt notes of caramel, toast, toffee, and sweet chocolate are complemented by an equally rich barrel character.”
What our editors thought
“Caramel peanut brittle top notes hover over alligator char vanilla coconut notes on the nose. The sip is deep and rich, with captivating layers of brûléed sugar, molasses, and burnt caramel.”
