The collabs are worldwide in the world of craft beer! It makes sense, there are a lot of creative minds but not everybody has the right environment for actually producing their creation. This is Old Timer Dastardly Oak, brewed and canned at Sahale for Timer's Beverage Center. A photo of Timer's shows a Spanish flag among the national designations, but it might be for wine and cava rather than craft beer. A shame for craft enthusiasts of Wisconsin, but we aren't getting much of their beers over here either. Just means more incentive to travel, I guess.

It has the sweetish appley aroma of many barleywines, and the stained kind of brown color. There's also a touch of wood wafting out, like a fresh coffin perhaps. It feels like a syrupy apple juice, although not quite as sweet at first, but a hit of pancake topping jumps out at the end. Although it seems pretty light at first, the sweetness adds some weight and also a little friction to the drink. The apple never quite goes away even if it fades in the flavor. It's a strange contrast of the thin and zippy beer itself and the heavy layers of taste. One of the easier barleywines I've had, I'd say, less grabby and more concerned with blended tastes than hammering with alcohol. A good evening drink, to relax after a stressful day, or even a day of doing nothing to not disturb a vaccine taking hold.
