Modern Times - Opinions of Reality: Aged in Quadruple Flowers Barrels

Huge Barleywine conceived with one goal: go big. Made up of mostly Maris otter & a bag each of oat malt, caramel malt & pale chocolate malt, we wanted something that was undoubtedly a Barleywine but pushed the limits. When we talked to the dudes at Eighth State, we told them we just brewed a stout that got up to 45 Plato (Which is really high) & suggested doing a simple barleywine base the same way. They said, “that sounds incredible, let’s do it”, & we brewed this behemoth. When it was ready for barrels, we split the batch between 4 roses & Evan Williams 1783 barrels for just under 2 years. Expect deeply reduced caramel, intense dates/Raisins & a hint of Cherry, along with a spiciness & heat from the freshly dumped 4 Roses bourbon barrels.
