About this release

A recurring barleywine from the Sigil series, expertly brewed by barrel master JC Klecko. Batch one matured for an average of 15 months in a mix of bourbon barrels, resulting in a complex 13.5% barleywine with deep caramel, vanilla, and oak notes. Rich, warming, and full of layered flavors of dark fruit, toffee, and a subtle bourbon warmth. This monumental creation comes from Bissell Brothers Brewing Company in Portland, Maine, a brewery known since its inception for brewing hoppy yet balanced beers. Klecko's craftmanship proves itself once again in this barleywine, where the extended maturation in bourbon barrels creates a harmonious balance between strength and finesse. The result is a beer that commands respect, with a full body that slowly unfolds on the palate. Monolith from the 500ml bottle is a beer for contemplation, ideal for slow sipping on a cold evening. With its 13.5% alcohol content and complex profile, perfect for lovers of aged, fermented beers. This is a monument of craftsmanship that reveals itself in your glass, layer by layer. A ten out of ten for those who love warm, chocolatey barleywines with depth and complexity.
