An American Barley Wine brewed with Belgian dark candi sugar, and aged on Bourbon oak spirals.
Some tasting notes:
Appearance- Blood red, with a nice rocky off white head. Little bit of haze due to the non filtered/bottle conditioned nature of this beer.
Smell- Cherry, bourbon, oak, rich malt, and some piney bitterness.
Taste- When served at 55*, Burial is a silky smooth almost Port-wine-like beast, with lively carbonation, dark fruit notes, and a slightly spicy finish. If you let it open up though, a perfumey blast of rum dipped raisin, vanilla, and oak come through with a slightly citric and earthy piney bitterness.
Mouthfeel- lively carbonation, with a chunky mouthfeel. Has a VERY VERY smooth finish for a barleywine of this stature. Nice and clean, without a cloying maltiness, but with a nice lasting bitter booze finish.
