A rich, full bodied Barley Wine with a wonderfully warming character from the malts & dark brown sugars. Held to the light, its burgundy color is fitting for a bigger beer that has aromatics that hint of the oak, the whiskey, the somewhat sweet nature, and molasses that makes this beer truly unique.
Using Colorado Craft Whiskey barrels, we aged this beer for 6 months to impart a small amount of oak tannins and the whiskey character that combine to elevate this beer beyond its original entry into this world.
The current bottling uses Colorado Craft Whiskey barrels that had been used previously by our Reserve Series Black Betty. This 2nd-use barrel dials down the whiskey nose slightly to create a wonderful mesh of aromatics.
Excellent to enjoy now and cellerable for years.
