Hellbender - BA American Barleywine
"Hellbender is a leviathan of a beer made with over a tonne of malt and a mountain of American hops. You know it would taste great right now, but a beer this big will only get better with age. What will it taste like in a year? Two years? More? Will you ever get to find out..." -

@shertson Sweet, sticky and strong... Lots of dried fruit flavours. Almost like a liquid Christmas cake

I'm trying to imagine how the oak impacts it. I love barrel aged beers, and I love barley wines, but I'm having a hard time putting them together in my head. Lol
Gonna have to hunt this down and taste it for myself.

@shertson the proof is in the tasting
It would be an interesting experiment to taste both the regular Hellbender and the BA version side by side... (makes mental note: I def need to do that as well) -

I'll have to find a crazy brewery around here that makes something similar.

@shertson yup Garage Project is a brewery from Wellington, New Zealand. Don't think they're exporting to the US.
But I guess you guys have a lot more breweries that craft a wicked barley wine.
Tioga-Sequoia Brewing is the first one that comes to mind... Well the only one I have tasted -

Do they only have select beers from each brewery or is it all of the brewery's available cans?

@shertson @digigeek
It’s two “drops” or offers a day, they offer what they offer until it’s gone. Wide variety of brewers and styles. Grab it while you can, fill your “crate” and pick a shipping date. Various “preorder” opportunities as well that become available in weeks or maybe a month later. Anything you buy you pay for immediately.Flat rate shipping $16 regardless of order size - I have made our UPS guy very unhappy with orders that ship in two 30 pound boxes
