Tree of Hope

A bourbon barrel-aged Barleywine - 14.2% ABV

As anyone who has curated an extensive barrel program understands, every so often a barrel or a set of barrels stands apart from the rest for reasons completely unknown. With all things being equal - time, patience, environment - seemingly by chance these magic barrels mythically elevate above those around them. Tree of Hope is our first representation of such chance.

Artfully blended for perfect balance with threads of select 26-month-old barrel-aged barleywine, originally brewed with a hefty dose of oats, and combined with standout barrels of 22-month-old barrel-aged barleywine, Tree of Hope is the smoothest, most decadent barrel-aged barleywine we have had the pleasure of enjoying. We taste and smell molten caramel, bourbon-soaked toffee candy, rich vanilla oak, dark raisins, tootsie rolls, dark brown sugar, and sweet bourbon. As it warms it reveals layers and layers of intriguing depth and complexity - wow! This beer is intended to be savored and enjoyed on a special occasion. It is best when shared - Enjoy!
