Celebrating the Grand Illumination of Williamsburg each year, our Barleywine style ale is a massive 11% offering that takes us over 5 hours to boil. The long boil time creates a bold caramel tone and is balanced with our signature Amarillo/Cascade hops blend.

"This one poured a copper color with a small tan head. The aroma is caramel, cherries, alcohol, and a hint of citrus. The flavor is somewhat sweet with some dark fruits like raisins present. There is also a citrus presence with this one. The alcohol is noticeable but not overwhelming. Overall a very nice barleywine. "

"Thanks Immy: This at least isn’t a cop out barleywine. I’ve had a streak of really timid big beers lately. This one is big, syrupy, hoppy enough to be American, but not a hop monster and it warms on its way down but doesn’t burn. It’s not harsh. It’s balanced. Caramel, banana and mango fruits. Pretty tasty."
