Wow just wow with this baby. This was a very limited release by Brooklyn Brewery that I feel privileged to have tasted.

Appearance: Medium copper in the glass with a head that’s almost non-existent.

Smell: Nice sweet mocha aromas on this bourbon barrel-aged barleywine ale.

Taste: Caramel and mocha flavors with some vanilla on the finish.

Mouthfeel: Just a mellow, round and smooth brew.

Overall: Brooklyn Brewery calls it “one of the richest, tastiest beers to ever emerge from our brewery”. If you can locate this beer – buy it…but it’s doubtful. Great for pairing with a charcuterie plate and with grilled sausages.

Brewed by: Brooklyn Brewery, Brooklyn, NY

Style: Barleywine-style Ale Aged in Bourbon Barrels

Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 13.3%
