About This Beer
The crew created this enchanting elixir with a base of Chavallier Heritage Malt. Then bourbon, peach brandy, and VSOP cognac barrels worked their magic on the sweet, malty brew, imbuing it with boozy nuances of caramel, dried fruit, and oak.
Tasting Notes
Each syrupy swig of this smooth, medium-bodied sipper trades in toffee tones, with notes of chocolate covered raisins, marmalade on toast, and just a whisper of tobacco. Its complex richness means that long after Arcane Rituals is gone, its reputation is likely to remain immortal.

The best vintage yet of this fantastic beer

figs, raisin, brown sugar, and toffee with a sherry wine booziness. It doesn’t get much better than this if you’re looking for a syrupy, malty English barleywine.

Not as syrupy as you’d think; the brandy-barrel flavor really floats over the whole thing with a nice effervescence. I bet it’s great with food.

Sweet caramel, toffee & raisins. The combination of barrels is unique & sets up well with the flavors of the brew. Excellent.
