Commercial Description:
This traditional American ale blends copious amounts of five different malts and various English and American hops to yield a rich and flavorful brew. As this ale is extremely complex in its flavor and quite full-bodied, the consumer is rewarded by letting a small amount warm in a brandy snifter and sipping it as one would a fine sherry. We age our Barleywine for one month in oak bourbon casks to add some vanilla and smoky notes and blend these flavors into a full-blown sensory experience to enjoy on a cold winter's eve.

A hazy orange-brown beer with a small brown head. The aroma is very hoppy, and the flavor is sweet, but also very hoppy combined with hints of sour grapefruit and wood.

(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy and opaque reddish brown almost without any head. - not your typical Barley Wine look. Odd, unclean aroma - some dried fruit perhaps. Quite full-bodied with accents of roasted malt and dried fruit - perhaps some plums. A bitter finish. Quite inharmonious. 011206
