Bourbon Barrel Aged

Take it to the Limit Barleywine

ABV 14.5%

IBU’s 21

By far the biggest beer we have ever made! It displays a deep amber color, with Crystal and Munich malts presenting strong fruity esters in the aroma, while the American hops identify this as an American take on a classic. The high alcohol is evident but subdued by the oak and char from aging in bourbon barrels, adding additional complexity to this superbly smooth barelywine.
