DESTIHL Brewery Bourbon Barrel-Aged Triton Barleywine
What the brewers say
“Oak vanillins, deep, dark cherry, chocolate tones enhance the caramel, toffee, treacle aroma and flavor.”
What our panel thought
“Super-fruity aroma accents the strong caramel malt. The flavor stirs in dark caramel, toffee, a dash of sherry, some slightly numbing alcohol, a ghost of earthy hops.”
What our editors thought
“Light floral notes highlight the caramel-centric aroma, with an almost cake frosting–like vanilla edge. Round and less defined in the sip, as chocolate and burnt caramel notes swirl into a loose, dry finish.”
