Siroco
Named after the warm southern wind, Siroco returns periodically as a limited release. The brewery describes it as an American-style barleywine matured for six months in whisky barrels, a nod to a lone sailor guarding his cargo for half a year. It pours old copper to deep reddish brown with a thin ivory head that fades quickly. The nose is rich and liqueur-like: figs, raisins and prunes, toffee, vanilla, oak and clear whisky notes. Full, dense and silky, it finishes long and warming with sweet malt and wood.
