Burning Sky’s second collaboration with Indiana beer legends Three Floyds comes in the form of a barrel aged barley wine. Fermented with Burning Sky’s house ale yeast and a Brettanomyces strain, the beer was then aged in sauternes wine barrels with vanilla pods and cacao nibs to give a decadent chocolate orange flavour. A truly luxurious and uncompromising swan song to Burning Sky’s brief but highly memorable contribution to The Rainbow Project.

Very good barley wine collaboration between Burning Sky and Three Floyds. It’s very boozy there’s no hiding it. I don’t get the chocolate or the orange that was noted but I do get big caramel, dark Christmas cake style boozy fruit, apple juice, wood, lemon peel and a hint of vanilla. It’s also slightly sour with a farmyard funk thing going on. Full on beer exhibiting a plethora of flavours. You certainly couldn’t say it was bland!!!
