"Barley wine matured in bourbon barrels, 50% aged nearly a year. Brewed with 100% malted barely, Hypnosis pours a shimmering burnt caramel glass. Aromas of vanilla, oak, plum, caramel and bourbon begin the hypnotizing process. Amazing flavors of malted barley, hops, plum, fig and bourbon mesmerize even the most hardened hearts. 12% alc/vol 70 IBU's"

Cloudy brown body with a tan head. Big dark fruit with the barrels in the nose. Taste add caramel, standing out plum with minor molasses, prune and barley, cognac triumphs of the bourbon here. Feel is boozier and thinner but never in a problematic way, malt over barley, sneaky deep in that base. The wife liked it.

Taster flight at Loyal Legion. Brown pour, any semblance of head fades quickly. Malty aroma, caramel, boozy. Taste is malty and sweet, noticable barrel notes, and light fruitiness. ABV comes in for a good amount of warmth.

This is a 2019. A lovely beer, but the two years in my cellar may have done more harm than good. It’s still a very beautiful clear mahogany color but seems a bit thinned out. Caramel and fruit come through, but it’s a little too dry at this point. An interesting result.

Dark brown appearance with a slight tan head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is s slightly sweet raisin. Taste is also a slightly sweet raisin that is very pleadant.

Poured from fridge temp. Very murky brown. Almost no carbonation. Smell is hops, cognac, cherries, raspberries, toffee. The first taste is toffee and caramel. Next is a bit of bitterness and then some brown sugar. Really interesting mix, and I am a big fan. I can definitely get the cognac in there, and there is a tad bit of alcohol burn. I bet this will mellow with 6-12 months. Tasting some nice dark fruit and a bit of chocolate on the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is medium bodied. Overall a great beer from Block 15. Glad I got to try it.
