Three Floyds Barrel-aged Behemoth Barley-wine Ale

Three Floyds Barrel-aged Behemoth Barley-wine Ale.

13.6 % ABV, 45 IBU, Three Floyds Brewing, Munster, IN. 

Dark brown, ruby-tinged, nearly opaque, under a slim, beige head holding fort atop. 

In the nose: burnt caramel, anise, mocha, toffee, decadence, cocoa, smokey treats on top of truffles and utter luxury. Whole lot going on here. 

In the mouth: Sweetness takes the stage, big malt, big flavors, hugeness upon hugeness. Big body, long, luxuriant finish. Slight spice. Richness, caramel and barrel age bourbon flavors. Oak and vanilla. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Whoa. Big, beefy, boisterous. Ridiculously deep, dark, decadent, and crazily delicious. More whoa. 

Our American-style Barleywine gets the barrel treatment, as we age it in bourbon barrels for over a year. From here the intense hop character gets rounded out and complemented with natural vanilla, coconut and bourbon notes extracted from the barrel aging process. 12oz bottle.
