WEYERBACHER INSANITY

Sensational oak-barrel aged barleywine allows medicinal bourbon-cognac warmth to usurp syrupy caramel malting, brown chocolate creaming, chewy toffee sweetness and bourbon vanilla sway. Toasted pecan-almond nuttiness underlines orange-bruised cherry brandy soothe. Serpentine grapefruit rind bittering, musty date-fig-prune souring and juicy nectarine-melon conflux add to overall complexity.

GREAT DIVIDE OLD RUFFIAN BARLEY WINE

Emboldened rust-brown-clouded barleywine nestles chewy brown-sugared caramel-chocolate malting beside black cherry-pureed candied apple glaze and sharp citric tang, retaining emphatic bite. Cedar-chipped almond toasting and terse hazelnut niche calm down surging pine-hopped aggression. Rounded floral bouquet tempts dry bourbon finish, retaining strong bite. On tap at Ambulance, creamy brown chocolate sweetness gained pronounced black cherry, fig, prune and orange notions. Powerful ruffian never fails to delight.
