Anticipated throughout the fall and released on December 1st each year, Old Wooly is Big Time's biggest and rarest beer. It is always powerfully malty with a prodigious amount of hops for balance. In addition to Northwestern 2-row pale malt, English Crystal, Munich, Carastan malts are used along with just a touch of roasted barley for a slight dryness and additional color. Old Wooly is bittered with Yakima Nugget hops and finished with Cascade and Centennial. Only 7 barrels of Old Wooly are brewed each year in late June. The beer is aged in our cellar until the 1st of December and then put on tap at the pub until it's gone. Starting gravity from 22-24 Plato and alcohol 8.5 to 9.5 by weight.

While I'm not a huge fan of barleywines, I was in the brewery and gave this a try. Overall a fairly good beer, though my bias against the genre led me to give this guy a slightly lower flavor score. A little too alcoholy flavor for my tastes (bad). Very malty and bright flavor otherwise (good)

02.20.05 Tap at Toronado BWF This was #57, I think it was only added for Sunday. Lacey, red, and pale. Malty and sweet. Cotton candy, vinous. Holy cow this smells great! Fruit salad juice. Sweet tea. Super balance. Very pleasing and for some reason, though it seems only a step above regular, I really, really like it. One of few beers at Toronado I went back for more of.
