Urban Roots Beer- All Possible Futures (2025)
375ml
14.5% ABV
Back in August 2023, we brewed this barleywine with one goal in mind: pack in as much rich malt character as possible. We used a double mash with 100% Simpsons Maris Otter and Crystal malt to get all that intense toffee, caramel, and biscuity flavor. Then we filled up some Weller 12 bourbon barrels and let time work its magic. Just over two years of it, actually.
What came out of those barrels is something we’re really proud of. All that malt sweetness got even deeper, and the bourbon barrels added their own thing with vanilla, oak, and that unmistakable bourbon warmth. There’s a brown sugar quality that runs through every sip, finishing with hints of chocolate that linger. At 14.5%, it’s definitely a sipper, but it’s smooth enough that you’ll want to take your time with it anyway.
