About

Central Waters Brewer's Reserve Brandy Barrel Barleywine is an American Barleywine at 14.8% ABV, matured in used oak brandy barrels. This robust beer blends the rich, malty foundation of a traditional barleywine with the sophisticated depth that brandy-barrel aging imparts. The aroma reveals toffee, dark fruit, and brandy notes. On the palate, dark fruit and toffee take the lead, complemented by the full character of the brandy cask. The finish is dry with a pleasant bitterness, and the substantial alcohol content integrates without harshness. A well-balanced, complex beer that showcases the maturity gained from barrel aging.
