Casita Brewing Company Old Showboat
American Barleywine 13 º
Old Showboat is a decadent American Barleywine that bridges the gap between aggressive hop character and the refined elegance of ten-year Henry McKenna bourbon barrels. The sensory profile opens with a concentrated burst of resinous hops and citrus zest, swiftly followed by a deluge of toasted oak, vanilla bean, and charred honeycomb. Its rich, bready malt foundation supports layers of dark fruit and crème brûlée, while the extended aging imparts a sophisticated spirituous warmth. The collaboration with Private Press results in a velvety, full-bodied experience where assertive bitterness meets the mellowing influence of time and wood, finishing with a lingering, sweet-yet-dry oakiness.
Appearance. Deep copper to tawny amber with brilliant clarity and distinct ruby highlights; a thin, creamy off-white head fades quickly into a persistent collar, leaving oily legs on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity featuring a complex blend of resinous pine and citrusy hops intertwined with rich caramel, toasted bread, and vanilla. Bold bourbon notes provide a spirituous edge, accompanied by nuances of coconut and charred oak.
Taste. Initial impression is a massive wave of malty sweetness, tasting of honeyed toast and light toffee, followed immediately by firm hop bitterness and grapefruit zest. The mid-palate reveals the bourbon barrel influence with layers of vanilla and oak tannins. Finishes moderately dry with a lingering blend of hop resin and warming alcohol.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and exceptionally chewy with a luscious, velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, and the 13% alcohol provides a significant but smooth, well-integrated warmth without being harsh or solventy.
