Weyerbacher Insanity

Weyerbacher Insanity is an English Barleywine. Basically this is Blithering Idiot aged in oak bourbon casks. A beer that is sweet and a little boozy. I am tasting very nice flavors of toffee, raisins, oak, vanilla, and a pretty solid bourbon kick. What I’m not getting is much hops at all, which is a little surprising given the style. This is a pretty intense (but not “insane”) sipper. One of the few barleywines out there that I enjoy relatively fresh.
