Commercial Description:
Barley Wines are big beers! In fact this is the strongest beer we have ever brewed for our friends here in Wisconsin. This beer is "malt accented" so we searched the world and found the richest, most expensive barley varieties we could find. We bought the best barley available not only here in the United States but in Belgium, Germany and Scotland. You can thank Scottish farmers for growing Golden Promise barley because we used bushels of it in this beer to yield a full and rich flavor. We sourced hops from the United States and Germany but again turned to the UK for our signature hop, "East Kent Golding". This ale is fermented in this bottle and is suitable for laying down. It is so strong that we guess it will continue to improve for years!

An amber beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet alcoholic combined with notes of caramel and wood. The flavor is like liquid caramel, strong caramel flavors and very thick, but also with light notes of alcohol, which in turn gives it a dryness.

(12oz bottle, thanks Barry) Small beige head atop a crystal clear amber body. Aroma is mild, moderately sweet, maple/molasses, caramel, light herbal, alcohol. Taste is moderately sweet, maple, caramel, herbal, light metallic, alcohol. Sticky full body with low carbonation. I am a big fan of New Glarus, and a big fan of barleywines, but for some reason this NG BW does not work for me. So sad.
