About This Beer

The dark brew masters at Anchorage crafted this 15.5% ABV treat by blending several vintages of double-oaked Barleywines and Imperial Stouts. They had all spent more than a year aging in various bourbon barrels — including Amalga Whiskey barrels — which imbued them with oaky complexity.

To make it even dreamier, the crew finished it with Klatch coffee, Vermont maple syrup, and Madagascar vanilla beans.

Tasting Notes

This Barleywine-Stout blend is rich with coffee, syrup, and vanilla flavors atop its oaky, velvety BA body.

Chocolatey cold brew coffee with hints of maple syrup and vanilla. Dark and strong but easy to drink.

Very strong aroma/flavor of coffee up front, with a sweet syrup aftertaste. Guess you drink coffee when you can't sleep? Unfortunately not a fan of coffee but this is very smooth as a stout goes

Decent. Not amazing. Very prominent coffee flavor in the first couple of sips. Not flattering. Fortunately the coffee faded the more this beer opened up. Complex flavor profile. Not my favorite.

Far too sweet and cloying for my preference. However, had some enjoyable complexity
