This has proved to be a very interesting edition of Barrel Aged Decadence. The 2008 batch, an English-style barleywine aged in bourbon barrels, took on a pleasant sourness. Such quirks of nature can provide intriguing drinking experiences, like the many excellent wild ales being produced today. We think you’ll enjoy this delightfully unconventional offering.

Rated in July 2011. Got this at the release and cracked the bottle with the amazing Tampa area beer geeks. It pours deep ruby copper impressive mocha head. The aroma is soured citrus, some tart notes, spicy oak notes, more soured citrus that is being slowly sweetened by maltiness, smooth sweet bourbon and sweet vanilla. Wow, I also get more citrus off at the end of the draw. The taste is rich sweet citrus hops mixing with some tarter soured citrus notes and then moving into tasty vanilla, smooth molasses, sweet bourbon and smooth spicy oak notes. This is rich and balanced and the smooth vanilla and smooth sweet bourbon work perfectly here to play against the hop notes. Wow!
