Fort George Brewery Etymology

What the brewers say

“Blended barleywine aged 7–19 months in 12- and 14-year-old Elijah Craig Bourbon barrels.”

What our panel thought

“Complex blend of malt-derived aromas includes vanilla, caramel, toffee, raisin, chocolate, leather, fig. Sweet malt flavors tempered by hints of oak, sherry-like oxidation, and pleasing alcohol.”

What our editors thought

“Toffee and brown-sugar nose with a stiff bourbon jolt. The sip settles into a rounded leathery bitterness with a cola and spicy amaro finish for a stark counterpoint to the nose. Tightly executed and trim.”
