The Gift of a Clock

Blended Barrel-aged Barleywine-style Ale

EL CATADOR CLUB ONLY
Did you know?

El Catador Club 13th Edition Exclusive

In most Chinese dialects, the phrase meaning “to give a clock” sounds eerily close to the phrase meaning “to send off for one’s end,” or attend their funeral. To avoid this superstitious faux pas, consider giving this blend of Barleywine-style Ales aged separately in Brandy, Cognac, Sauternes, and Muscat barrels to your loved ones instead.

Tasting Notes

Intense aromas of dark cherry, caramel candy, allspice, and blackstrap molasses play on the nose and deftly hide the beer’s formidable alcohol content. Rich and silky on the palate, this blended beer offers chocolate-covered cherry, ginger snap, treacle, and maple syrup flavors punctuated by wood tannins, soft carbonation, and a gentle alcohol warmth.
