Olde School (2013)

Barleywine - American

Fermented with dates and figs, this smooth barleywine has a unique flavor. The concept for this beer came from an old cellerman's manual Sam came across. At about 15% ABV, this beer is a great candidate for aging. Over time, the beer dries out and the pit fruit flavors come forward and the hops recede. Our recommendation? Grab a few bottles when you find it -- enjoy one now, and age the others for a bit. Let us know which you prefer! Olde School Barlewine comes out in the fall annually. It is available in 12-ounce bottles by the 4-pack.

Doing a vertical, and it's 2012 > 2011 > 2013 for me. Hear our thoughts on Episode 366 of @cbcast here: https://craftbeercast.com/?p=2209

Haven't had one of these in years. Nice treat. Dogfish is great at these obnoxiously strong beers.
