This is a very special barleywine that we’ve created to support our dear friend Alex of @dontdrinkbeers during this challenging time and to raise awareness of colon cancer and to encourage early screening. We often approach this classic style as a celebration of malt expression and this beer is no exception. Despite being a young barleywine, patience remains an essential ingredient with a boil time that has been casually described by our brewers as “forever”. Finding that delicate balance between bitterness and sweetness, LIFE boasts freshly cracked walnut, toasted demerara sugar and orange peel on the nose followed by a silky mouthfeel and bountiful carbonation that carry with them vanilla, fresh fig and that expensive plum cordial you stole from your step dad’s liquor cabinet that one time. All proceeds will be donated to Alx’s medical fund via GoFundMe and the colon cancer foundation.

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 10 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8

    Pint can pours a with a deep copper to mahogany colored body that supports a thin light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up date and plum like dark fruity esters wrapped thinly by a bit of molasses and kettle caramelization flowing into a mild booze sensation. The taste delivers smooth and slick and full palate sweet malty and sweet estery barleywine goodness. Slick malts give way to date to plum to lightly fig sweet dark fruity esters. To midway a pleasing blend of reduced sugars, like molasses and caramel, provide another layer of depth to this sipper. Into the finish this big beer's ABV is pretty well restrained. This is a solid English barleywine offering that's well crafted with integrated flavors and it doesn't try to do too much. I dig it.
