About this release

This second version of Big Bang matured first in Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrels and was then transferred to a second round of fresh Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrels, for a total maturation of over 24 months. A robust and full-bodied barleywine with pronounced bourbon character, vanilla and caramel. This exceptional beer comes from the cellar of Barreled Souls Brewing Company, a brewery from Maine, United States, that specializes in barrel-aged beers. The unique solera system that Barreled Souls employs ensures that barrels are never completely emptied, resulting in a continuous blend of old and young beers with exceptional complexity. This principle is also reflected in the creation of Big Bang. With an alcohol content of 17 percent, this is a full, intense experience for the true connoisseur. The double maturation in Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrels, combined with the extended aging, gives this barleywine a depth that you won't soon forget. The vanilla and caramel notes that come from the bourbon barrels provide a truly full and harmonious taste experience. This is a beer to be enjoyed in small portions, preferably in a snifter glass, and especially in good company.
