This beer has been brewed for, and meant to be, aged. While it’s tasty right now, it will be best enjoyed with a years worth of appropriate aging. Beard of Zeus Barrel-Aged Barley Wine will mature nicely for up to five years. The beer is mahogany in colour with some ruby red hues shining through under the tan head. Aromas of dried fruits, plums and a touch of warming alcohol. Much the same in taste: dried fruits, cherry and plum, sweet malt with soft notes of vanilla and toffee. The Bourbon barrels that were used to age this beer for one year give the barley wine a lot of character, which comes through nicely in the finish.
