Nice read. Are you still planning on brewing this or similar again? I really want to do a wheat wine as I've never had one and I had no idea it would work out with Nelson. Considering swapping Nelson for Southern Passion actually. (Spectacular hop)
Dogfish Head World Wide Stout and Bourbon County Barleywine.
Glad I had the Stout first, it should be aged in Bourbon Barrels, imo. It's great but it could use a warm kick. At 18% , who will notice a little more alcy.
That barleywine, though, is something special
