Olde School (2017)

Barleywine - American

Bold, yet smooth! Fermented with dates and figs, this bone-crusher has a completely unique flavor. At 15% abv, this beer is a great candidate for ageing. Over time, the beer dries out and the pit fruit flavors come forward and the hops recede.

Les esters de datte et fruits sec sont superbes. C'est boozy beurre au caremel. Miam. J'aime bien les indications sur la bouteille.

Boozy, dark fruit, carmel, way bitter for something in the cellar for this long.

Did not realize this was 15%. Good thing I just had a bit! Really good mix of bitterness and breast malt

Stone fruit sweetness. Has mellowed considerably. Should have drank it sooner.

Boozy leather and stone fruit nose. Like peaches and plums over ripened. Smooth tounge, all the sharp bite is aged out of it. Heavy warming alcohol plum and fig,smooth. Lingers in the back with a slight black pepper finish.
