Bold, yet smooth! Fermented with dates and figs, this bone-crusher has a completely unique flavor.

My favorite Barley Wine! This beer is unique and unexpected. Its fruity and spicy taste lingers as it warms your mouth and throat. The alcohol is definitely noticeable, but not as much as you’d expect at 15% ABV. Highly Recommended!

Light coder honey color
Could smell the aroma before I even brought it to my nose: Apple, malty, hoppy, alcohol.
Sweet taste, very strong alcohol, which is to be expected at 15% abv.
Almost a wine/grape start and hoppy finish.

“Ma-done I’m a liking this Barley wine!” Pours a amber/orange with a nice quick head that lasts in thin lace. Aromas of hops, fruits, alcohol & spices. Initial taste is sweet, hoppy & apple fruity like “hard cider” with a warming finish. Impressive!
- Characteristics: apples complex hops
