A Deal with the Devil
Faustian pleasure has consequence, of this you must know
When you go down to the crossroads, expect more than a show
Robert Johnson paid dearly, for talent and fame
His deal with the devil, left only his name
Eternal damnation, no chance for retreat
Save only Mr. Daniels’, stunning cunning fiddle feat
This devil is in the details, diabotical pacts abound
Worldly riches and pleasures, but consequences come ’round
‘Twix barley and beer, there is liquid sublime’
But this devil is in the details, with consequence in time
Thirty-seven plato, a matter of some gravity
A Galaxy of hops, only adds to depravity
Eight months in wood, of Cognac in barrel
Mephistpheles you’re not, and the devil your peril
A Deal with the Devil is a barleywine style ale brewed with galaxy hops. A starting gravity of 37 plato. Aged eleven months in Cognac barrels. The devil is in the details… Enjoy!

Side by side tasting. Even though I feel like my palette is a bit numb but here we go.
Brew 5000:
Pours black in color with a rather swift head. Reddish against light.
On the nose subtle bourbon and oak barrel.
This gives really sticky lips. Sweetness is strong with sugar, warming alcohol and perhaps some toffee.
Double oaked deal with the devil:
Pours black in color with a hasty head and doesn't let any light through.
Bourbon is way much more on the scent.
On the palate stronger bourbon, more of that caramel and booze. But not disturbing.
Perhaps too much going on here at the end of the night. Looks like two days takes it tones.

GREY’S VIEW
Galaxy hopped Barley Wine aged in Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Barrels and blended i to aged versions of ADWTD.
This one hits slow and deep with the flavors. First vawe brings good amount of red grapes, dark bread, dry rye. It’s deep and interesting.
The mouthfeel is still as blackwater. Deep and soft. With solid maltbase. Soft and round carbonation works well with the flavours.
Aftertaste is piled up with the dark berries. Berries are accompanied with a solid feel of red wine, softer hint of barrels - wood, and leafy touch.
OTHER NOTES:
This one’s not the richest in the world, but very well portioned and strong flavoured enough. A true slow sipper.
