Is it possible to make the perfect barrel-aged Barleywine? Well, there's at least a GHOST OF A CHANCE. This 15.4% Vanilla Barleywine spent a scary impressive amount of time in bourbon barrels, clocking 22 months in a Weller 7yr bourbon barrel nestled in between Tahitian and Comoros vanilla beans. The resulting beer is so smooth it's spooky; sweet swirls of mellow bourbon sit adjacent to multiple waves of pleasantly elegant vanilla. Wisps of caramel, rich toffee, dark fruit and creamy coconut float amongst a medium carbonation that loans itself as the lingering stand between your palate and the last few sips of this bottle before it... vanishes.
