Barrel Aged Plum Barley Wine

This complex Barleywine has been ageing for 9 months, in Eruption red wine barrels from Brassfield Estate Winery, in Clearlake Oaks, CA creating a very complex brew. First sniff is a big fruity plum, raisin nose, followed by a sweet, almost pastry crust, toasted breadiness.
The color is unfiltered dark amber with a huge pillowed tan head. The flavors complexity starts as a deep rich candied plum, raisin sweetness joined by a tart bright fruitiness in the finish. For such a big beer there are no hot alcohol flavors or aromas, just a beautiful juicy, fruity complex sipper. Show Less
