A blend of two barleywines: the first aged for 10 months in a Buffalo Trace bourbon barrel, while the second aged for a year in Blanton's barrels, then double barrel aged for three additional years in a rye ex-cognac barrel.

This one's real special. The double barrel aged portion was the first batch of barleywine brewed for the Void Series back in 2021. It's similar to Double Barrel Syzygy (gold drippy wax) but with the same double barrel treatment as DB Cherry Novum (copper drippy wax), plus a year of developing oxidative characteristics (dark fruit, sherry, yum).

The younger portion is from the first batch of Void Series beers brewed at Threefold in 2024. It's similar to Temporal's OG barleywine recipe - mostly Maris Otter barley and boiled for 8+ hours. They brew these beers to be very bitter when fresh since the hop acids that provide bitterness slowly degrade over time. Typically around a year is when they'll begin tasting barrels to see how things are developing, and this barrel in particular was already in a really good place after only 10 months.

Tristan at Temporal has always wanted to play around with a blend of "fresh" and mature barleywine, but had never had the opportunity before now because of how he structured this series at the outset (front loaded the brews, filled all the barrels, then slowly have been pulling them down ever since).

This blend represents everything you love about this style of beer - rich malt character, oxidative fruit notes, balanced bitterness, and absolutely dripping in bourbon and spirit.
