What the brewers say

“Blend of black barleywine and imperial stout, both aged in Weller bourbon barrels.”

What our panel thought

“Subdued dark fruit and sherry notes. Sip is more imperial stout than barleywine. Milk chocolate, light toast, light caramel, light vanilla oak, sweet and light booze.”

What our editors thought

“Inky black malt notes sharpen the wooden staves in the nose. In the sip, soft chocolate sweetness buffered by layers of caramel and an even-keeled round bitterness offer dessert pleasure without losing shape.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Incendiary Brewing Company Long Forgotten Barleywine

“Enticing deep aroma. Strong toast, caramel, sweet chocolate, and hints of cocoa and coffee. A savory umami background with raisin, black currant, and Maduro cigar tobacco. Long-lasting malt and a hint of drying alcohol.”

Incendiary Brewing Company The Interception of Entropy (2021)

“Powerful yet elegant aroma of dark chocolate and fresh-pressed wine must. The sip doubles down with lovely notes of Belgian chocolate, vintage port, dried cherries, cinnamon, and cola.”

American Solera Stuffed Crust

“Strong bourbon aroma ends in rich sweet chocolate, toffee, and caramel notes. Finishes sweet with pale chocolate, candied raisins, and subtle bourbon barrel. Very low carbonation with just a hint of oak astringency.”
