What the brewers say
“Barleywine aged for two years in Port barrels.”
What our panel thought
“Sweet toffee and tobacco with a pleasant tongue-coating sweetness. Slight hop bitterness tempers the malty sweetness and helps hold together the cherry medicinal sweet flavors that evolve into damp wood, sherry, and thick malt. Big sherry notes as it warms. A well-executed, malt-forward treat.”
What our editors thought
“Dark cherry and berry aroma offers just a hint of vinous character. The flavor leans sweet, with berry hibiscus tea, and cherry fruit punch notes that outshine the low bitterness.”
