A well executed Wing Over is smooth and dramatic. This beer is no exception. Wing Overis a big, complex, American-style Barleywine featuring two English caramel malts and four American hops. Wing Over's character is enhanced by dry hopping and then aging the deep amber liquid for six months in charred oak rye whiskey and bourbon barrels. Spicy aromas spill from the glass: rich caramel, citrusy hops, bourbon and oak. Layered flavors of toffee, vanilla, brown sugar, spice and rye whiskey lead to a warm and slightly bitter finish. This is a strong ale, meant to be sipped, savored and enjoyed.
