THIS BEER IS
This limited edition American Barley Wine was brewed in collaboration with 3 Floyds Brewery. This beer had all the warm, boozy and smoky aspects of an Islay Scotch whisky with the sweet malt and devastatingly bitter attributes of a barley wine. Peat smoke features prominently, backed up with a complex fruity hop profile.

BREWER'S TIP
To add to the smoky nature of this Barley Wine, source some smoked wood or whisky casks to age the beer in.
