Elysian Brewing Co. Barrel-aged Cyclops

What the brewers say

N/A

What our panel thought

“Sweet caramel aroma with a lingering citrus note. The interplay of pine, citrus, and floral hops notes integrates well into a caramel, vanilla, and toffee malt backbone. Finish is sweet caramel malt with citrus and bourbon.”

What our editors thought

“It knows what it wants to be, and it goes for it with just enough hops to keep everyone honest. The sip is a blend of caramel malt sweetness and depth layered over an American hops bitterness. A developed argument for a more American approach to barleywine.”
