Barley & Co. Oak & Bourbon
This Winter Seasonal Beer presents a deep amber hue, offering a complex sensory experience that evokes a comforting winter fireside. The profile is defined by rich dark sugars and faint honey, layered with the distinct, structural presence of oak tannins from aging. Moderate esters of ripe plum integrate seamlessly with the base malt’s sweetness. The finish is characterized by a rounded warmth and a specific, lingering nuance of Tennessee Whiskey, adding depth to the traditional Old Ale foundation. It is a well-balanced winter warmer where wood-driven character and dark fruit flavors create a sophisticated and cozy seasonal profile.
Appearance. Deep amber (SRM 14–17) with a well-formed, persistent white head. The liquid exhibits clear clarity with rich, mahogany-tinged brilliance.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominated by dark sugars and subtle honey, accented by noticeable oak tannins and an aged beer character. Distinct plum fruitiness provides a deep ester profile, while a faint, smooth whiskey note sits in the background of the malt-forward bouquet.
Taste. Initial impression is of rich, sweet malt and caramel. Flavors of dark brown sugar and honey are balanced by moderate hop bitterness. The mid-palate reveals dark fruit notes of plum, leading to a complex finish featuring Tennessee Whiskey character and a light, supportive oak-driven astringency.
