Commercial Description:
Thanks for purchasing another offering in our Big Mo’ Series. Widdershins, our counterclockwise biennial barleywine aged in oak casks reveals fruity notes of orange and apricot upon a foundation of oak, garlanded with earthy hoppiness. Our answer to waning daylight and frigid temperatures can be enjoyed immediately or saved in your cellar for a snowy day. Cheers!<br /> Bottle Conditioned<br /> 50% Aged in Oak Cask

750 via trade with Kmweaver. Shared with my gf Cyn and dalekliz. Pours orange with a tan head. Nose is oaky and sweet and could be so so much better but it isn’t bad. Taste is sweet and very nicely balanced. Its a yummy beer it goes way beyond a dp, its a solid barleywine but it is totally drinkable and middle of the road. And it does have some smoke my gf pointed out. Overall I would take it over a lot, but i’d take a lot over this.

its good, but I’m not to crazy about this. It has the strong wood aroma that makes any beer a welcome. The taste seems a bit funky. still its got some minor piney flavors and the caramel malts

The aroma is hoppy with pine hops. It’s also got caramel malt. The appearance is amber with a nice head. The flavor is like the aroma. Overall it’s good.

Bottle. Dark copper with a small white head. Aroma is malty sweetness, wet wood and a little smoke. Flavor is sweet syrupy malt, wood and tree bark. The wood / bark actually makes it seem a little salty. Some light hop bitterness and wood linger in the finish.

Draft @ the brewery. Pours in hazy copper/amber and produces a respectable off white head. The aroma is fruity, nutty definitely oaked. The flavor was really oaky, much less hoppy than I expected. Also a considerable amount of malt some notes of nuts and produced a flavor of Rochefort cheese. Decent carbonation, slight warming from the alcohol. Very nice.
