Our Mutual Friend Brewing Fixed Blade
What the brewers say
“Barleywine aged 18 months in Laws Rye Whiskey barrels.”
What our panel thought
“Caramel, toasty chocolate, toffee notes greet the nose, with a hint of whiskey. Flavors of toffee, caramel, molasses, dark dried fruit. Some alcohol bite with a good amount of bitterness tempers the sweetness. Finish is relatively clean.”
What our editors thought
“Waffle cone, vanilla, a bit of cocoa powder in the aroma with a nutty undercurrent that unfolds in the flavor with a bit of herbal hop bitterness. Woody tannins help dry the body, with a full but focused finish.”
