Our original strong beer, dating back to 1998. It’s a pretty accurate representation of the American barleywine style with hints of the style’s English origins (the Maris Otter character, the English fermentation notes). It is rich and warming and best sipped slowly. Old Thunderpussy ages very well and this will soften and gain complexity as time goes by (yes, we always archive some). It makes for fun and educational vertical tastings when you can try multiple years side by side.
