Verboten Brewing Grow Old With You Reserve
What the brewers say
“English-style barleywine aged one year in a rye whiskey barrel, then one year in a honey whiskey barrel.”
What our panel thought
“Rich toffee, caramel, and nutty malt, date and figs, tart and dark cherries, roast and chocolate malt, spicy alcohol. Peppery rye, sweet honey, light milk chocolate, cognac.”
What our editors thought
“Oak dominates the aroma, with light vanilla and coconut tones. Sweeter tones hit first in the sip, but they give way to deeper, drier tannic and dark cacao notes.”
