About this beer

This is the 50th of 94 labels we have from Fonta Flora Brewery. It is one of 10 barleywine / strong ale labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted. The label carries barrel-aged on the front.

The artwork

A pen-and-ink drawing of a reptilian skull occupies the left half of the label against a dark teal field, rendered in tan line-work with hollow eye sockets and jaw detail. The beer name appears in condensed sans-serif capitals above the skull, with the brewery name in script at the bottom left. Type and regulatory information fill the right side in a lighter sans-serif, while a circular brewery seal sits lower right.
