Melvin Brewing Eureka (House of Flying Barrels) Magnus
What the brewers say
“Barleywine brewed with maple sugar and aged in bourbon and Cognac barrels.”
What our panel thought
“Decadent notes of caramel, toffee, and vanilla pair with a hazelnut-like aroma and a hint of smoke-like character in the nose. The flavor is nondescriptly sweet, with caramel, black raisin, black cherry, hazelnut, and almond.”
What our editors thought
“Benedictine liqueur with subtle caramelized-banana notes in the nose. The sip is sugary sweet with light brown-sugar notes and just a bit of burnt bread crust to balance.”
