The American Barleywine is one of the strongest of ales, and this is no exception! Aged for 14 months in Merlot barrels, this beer has picked up wood, wine, and berry notes in the flavor and aroma. The beer starts out slightly sweet and finishes dry with a moderate hop character. Named for the highest peak in the Jewel Basin where views of the Flathead Valley are well worth the hike. Best served in a snifter glass. This is the third beer released in our North Shore Project. Malts: Montana 2-row, Pilsner, Vienna, and Aromatic. Hops: Horizon and Tettnang. IBU 50 | ABV 8.7%

Corked and caged 750mL (bottle number 456/600) pours with a nearly clear copper colored body that has thin golden hues and supports a short lived head of white foam. The aroma offers up malt soaked oak, blunted and smoothed over sort of red wine like notes and then a sort of brett like sensation (that may not actually be there). The taste delivers smooth thin sweet malts rolling around under a larger flavor source of fig and kind of pear like sweet fruity esters. It then conjure up brighter notes of spicy oak and modest ester sweetened red wine like notes. The various levels of flavor seem to conspire to create a kind of brett like character as noted in the nose. I'm not sure if that's real but the overall experience works well. This is drinking fine right now and is an improvement over sampling this fresh on tap years ago.
