Description: 

Goodwood uses casks from some brandy distilling friends to patiently age our Honey Ale – super freaking patiently, actually. Goodwood Brandy Barrel Honey Ale is brewed with locally sourced honey and aged several times longer than our other barreled beers. But you don’t have to wait another second. Go ahead. Skip the part about “notes of malt, mead and dried fruit,” and get to sippin’! (Description provided by company)

Pours a clear dark reddish amber with a full finger and a half of an off white and foamy head. Even after settling a half finger sticks around for a while.

The aroma is strong on the malts, with lots of sweeter toffee and caramel notes, along with some hints of fruit and some crisp, bready pale malt.

Lots of rich fruit and sweet malt flavors are present as you start to drink, with a some of hop bitterness towards the finish. The finish itself isn't too long or strong, though. A hint of alcohol in the finish as well.

A medium full body, with moderate carbonation.

An interesting beer, and quite deceptive in flavor for something with such a strong ABV. The brandy barrel does seem to add a little rich fruitiness, and adds a nice dimension to the be
