After aging in Hogshead Whiskey barrels, this beer is a true example of a classic, barrel-aged English Barleywine. Already a formidable ale in its own right, it has matured into a flavorful, complex behemoth. It offers flavors of toffee, caramel, and a warming alcohol character that's been rounded and accentuated by notes of raisin, vanilla, and oak from its aging.Special Techniques: Hogshead Whiskey Barrel-AgedMalts: Maris Otter, Munich, Crystal 40, Rolled OatsHops: Sterling, US Golding, PerleOG: 1.121 TG: 1.038 ABV: 10.71 IBU: 23 SRM: 17Thursday, December 21, 2017 5pm - midnight FreeLongest Night of the Year 201723rd Avenue Bottle Shop2290 NW Thurman Street / Portland, OR, 97210All ages welcome21+ to sample
