SHIPWRECKER CIRCUS (W/OSKAR BLUES) Download BeerXML
THIS BEER IS
In collaboration with the awesome Oskar Blues from Colorado, we created this big, twisted 10.5% American style barley wine. Big boozy aromas and a sweet viscosity, packed in with some heavy-hitting C-hops, for an intense bitterness to balance this full-bodied malt monster.

BREWER'S TIP
Age this beer in the cellar for a few months to allow the warm alcohol flavours to reduce.
