Auto-Trepanation is a 12% ABV Barleywine from Adroit Theory Brewing Company in Purcellville, Virginia. This discontinued release walks the line between American and English Barleywine styles, delivering rich treacle and caramel notes that define the drinking experience. The aroma tempts with sweet and boozy character, while the palate emphasizes malt-forward depth with dominant caramel flavours.

Despite its strength, the beer maintains a relatively light body, finishing with a semi-sweet character that balances the alcohol warmth.
