DESCRIPTION

Dream by Day is an English barleywine, we brewed this beer with a combination of Maris Otter and English crystal malts, boiled for hours, fermented and then aged for over a year in A. Smith Bowman bourbon barrels.  Rich amber brown, with a chill haze that disappears as it warms up, with off-white lacing with enticing aromas of oak, bourbon, treacle, toffee, and rich dark fruit. The flavor is equally layered as the oaky and vanilla-esque bourbon combines beautifully with nutty, caramel, sweet, toasty malt. Low carbonation helps keep the texture of the beer luscious and velvety, with a smooth, subtle warmth without any alcohol burn. While ready to enjoy now, if there is a beer to cellar and age, it's this one. Careful, though, as you may find yourself lost in thought as you Dream by Day.
