    • Codespeaker

      Ever had a Barleywine? I bet you have. Ever had a Munichwine? It's similar: a strong, copper-colored brew, but made entirely with Munich malts. These beers are very strongly malty, rich, and have extremely developed and complex burnt sugar notes. This melds really well with a bourbon barrel, especially a super high-end one like the Blanton's (aka Tiny Horsey) that we aged this in.

    • Neutron Symphony 2023-22oz

The result is a belovedl beverage that is ultra-smooth, with notes of toffee and biscuit, underscored by a nice oak presence. It’s real good.
