Heavy Seas Below Decks 2012 On Shelves
Love barleywines? Don’t miss this seasonal release. Heavy Seas Brewing (Baltimore, MD) upgraded this brew to bomber status a couple of years ago. Highly cellerable, and boozy to boot. Each year, three editions are released. The regular edition (above), Cabernet Barrel Aged Below Decks, and Bourbon Below Decks. The barrel aged editions are a few weeks away.
Our English style barleywine — rich, malty, and opulent. Great at time of release but will benefit from bottle aging for many years to come. VINTAGE DATED.
Style: Barleywine (English style, lighter on the hops)
Availability: 22oz bombers. Some draft. Nov-Dec seasonal. Vintage dated
Cellar? Yes

Heavy Seas Holy Sheet Bottled Today
Heavy Seas Brewing in Baltimore, MD is bottling Holy Sheet! today. Last year Holy Sheet got a promotion to bombers in the Mutiny Fleet.
According to their Facebook Page, today is bottling day. As you can see by the pic, I’d assume that beer is pretty fresh. Sheet is a Belgian strong dark ale. Heavy Seas calls it “Uber Abbey Ale.” My fond memories are drinking about 5 glasses of it on St Paddy’s day a few years ago. March 18th was magical.
Holy Sheet! is due out in March. Cellars for 2 years. Holy Sheet! We’ll see you soon.
