One bottle of Barleywine -- 500 ml
This week we’re pleased to share the annual release of Copestone, our Port Wine and Bourbon Barrel-Aged Barleywine. Few beers we make require as much time, attention and resources; fewer still give back so generously. As always, this batch began nearly two years ago on a long brew day - a double mash of floor-malted Maris Otter and a touch of English specialty malts, followed by a boil that ran well into the night with additions of American hops and Mauritian Dark Muscovado sugar. From there it was patience: a long fermentation in stainless before moving into Willett bourbon and Tawny Port barrels - there Copestone slowly becomes itself. This year’s blend averaged 20 months in oak. Expect familiar notes of dark fruit, toffee and pipe tobacco, carried by the restrained and balanced finish that makes this beer so drinkable. Each year as we prepare Copestone, we reach back into the cellar to revisit years past and we’re yet to find a bottle that hasn’t aged with grace. While we love where this beer is currently (and will be enjoying it over the coming holidays), we’re confident it will evolve with slow and steady elegance.
