About this release

The second release of this barleywine, aged in a Blair Athol cask with a Marsala influence in the cask's history. The flavor profile reveals caramel and creamy toffee, dark cherry and dried fruit, a hint of soft spices and a long, warming finish. A rich and complex barrel aged barleywine from Varvar Brew from Kyiv, Ukraine. With an alcohol content of 12.5%, this is a full, intense barleywine that you feel in every sip. The 375ml bottle is ideal for sharing with a partner or as a treat for yourself. This barrel aged variant combines the classic characteristics of the barleywine style with the elegance of the former casks in which it has matured, resulting in a drink with depth and character. The combination of caramel and creamy toffee forms a sweet base, while the dark cherry and dried fruit add a complex fruit character. That hint of soft spices gives nuance to the whole, and the long, warming finish make this a perfect choice for quiet evenings or as the finale of a beer experience.
