COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our Bonecrusher is a big complex beer, a real winter warmer. We have used all Australian malt and hops to create this brew. It was barrel fermented and matured in a French oak octave that was pre-soaked with 20 year old white tawny, and a Belgian yeast strain was used to add extra funk. Layers of different flavours meld together from toffee, fig, spice and subtle oak.

2012 Vintage- Pours a hazy dark mahogany color with a very small head that fades quickly to no real lacing. Aroma of wine, some spice, dark fruit, bit of caramel sweetness and definitely an alcohol presence. Taste of dark fruit and spice, some malt sweetness with some grain in the background. The flavor seems to blossom as it warms. Very mild bitterness and a clean and quite dry finish. Fairly light body, smooth with a definite feel of the 12% ABV. It becomes more intense as it warms. A very enjoyable Barley Wine, I am looking forward to trying this again after it matures.
