New Image - Madera 2023 (PX Sherry)

16.89% Oxidized Barleywine, aged in Pedro Ximenez sherry barrels. This unique beer is inspired by the Portugese Madeira, a fortified wine which is riped on real high temperatures (50c) for an extended amount of time. This process results in unique flavors of roasted nuts, stewed fruit, caramel, and toffee.

The oxidized barleywine base that went into these casks was already ripe with notes of caramel, dark fruit and subtle earthen tones, but there were counterpoints that we still wanted to see in the finished product. The soft vanilla and tannin, imparted by French oak, the lively notes of berry and wine grapes provided by the liqueur and the subtle warmth of alcohol that the barrel lends to this beer all come together to create something that’s incredibly complex, balanced and thoughtful.
