About this beer
Orpheus Brewing presents Don’t Look Back, a barleywine-style ale weighing in at 12.8% ABV. This iteration, designated Year Eight, underwent extended aging in barrels – specifically Jim Beam Masterpiece Bourbon, Speyside Scotch, and additional oak – imparting complex character to the brew. The flavor profile promises rich notes of dark fruit, toffee, and warming spice, all underpinned by a smooth, boozy foundation developed through the barrel maturation. Crafted with malted barley, it's designed as a story of rebirth, mirroring the myth of Orpheus, told on the label through artwork featuring a detailed, winding black dragon representing transformation.
The packaging itself is striking, dominated by the dramatic illustration of the dragon coiling against a stark white background, with textual elements presented in a somewhat antique typeface. The label subtly details the philosophical inspiration behind this particular release, connecting the process of barrel aging to themes of transmigration and renewal. Available in 12.7 fl oz (375ml) bottles, it is meant to be transformed with time in the wood and reborn as something new with each brewing.
