Shipwrecker Circus (w/ Oskar Blues)
American Barley Wine - Oskar Blues Collab.
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.
