From the label“Hunger never rests. In Algonquian tradition, the Wendigo is associated with an insatiable hunger, greed, and a desire that can never be satisfied. Like the legend, this barleywine ale is rich, consuming, and difficult to forget. Built on classic English malt and a long boil, then aged for 12 months in bourbon barrels, Wendigo reveals layers of toffee, dark caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and dark stone fruit, with hints of brown sugar and subtle spice. How long can you resist your hunger?”
