Read from the label art by Hop Grail. Fields checked against the approved label. How we get this data

The artwork

A dense, ornamental woodcut-style illustration of a gnarled tree dominates the center of the label, its twisted trunk and branches rendered in dark brown against a gold background, framed by art-nouveau scrollwork and corner flourishes. The composition is symmetrical and heavily decorated, with leaf motifs and curved borders filling the upper and lower edges. The beer name is split across the image in a large serif typeface, with 'SIERRA NEVADA' arching above and 'Barrel-Aged BARLEYWINE ALE' positioned below the central motif. Regulatory text and descriptors run vertically along both sides on the gold field.

From the label

“Things change in the woods. Winds shift, shadows grow long, and all is not as it seems. Inspired by the legend of Dullahan, the headless rider if the British Isles, this English-style Barleywine Ale is as complex as it is elusive. A rest in bourbon barrels emboldens the malt character, creating something bigger, richer and more intense. Unleash the cork and the beast rides anew.”
