Firestone Heldorado 2017 Barleywine - 35 CL

Part of the adventure of aging beer in retired spirit barrels is the synergistic interaction of different malt flavors with the oak and spirit flavors from the barrel. Darker beers like stouts and dark barleywines are typically the preferred candidates for barrel aging, due to their deeper caramel and roasted flavors. Helldorado breaks that mold with a deep golden color by being brewed exclusively with English and American pale malts. The bready, honeyed flavors of pale malt extract rich wildflower honey, vanilla, and coconut notes from the oak, creating an overall flavor that presents as bourbon-glazed Graham crackers that stands as particularly unique in our vintage lineup. Helldorado may be lighter in color, but it’s a full-bodied and densely concentrated sipper at 12.8% ABV.
