Commercial Description:
Our American-style Barleywine undergoes a three hour boil to intesify the caramel malts and the enormous Pacific Northwest hop charge. The result is a rich, estery brew with toffee notes and citrus hop flavors layered throughout. Enjoy this brew fresh today or lay it down for aging to see how the flavors of each vintage evolve.

Bottled, thanks Crosling! Hazy ruby, small head. Aroma of juicy lychee and grapefruit. Sure, it’s malty, but it’s dominated by juicy fresh citric hops. The carmelly malt is a mere excuse for the 10%. The hoppy lychee flavours later turns into long powerful bitterness. Certianly not the most complex barley wine, but very good.

Pours a darker amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of caramel malts, dark fruits, and some citrus hops. Flavor is sweet at first with caramel and toffee malts. Finishes strong with a little citrus hops and an alcohol warming. Pretty good.

Dark amber hue with a medium tan head. Aroma is hoppy (spicy, a little citric), and caramel. The flavor is a big splash of malt and hops at the same time - a little bitter/dry for my tongue, but I bet this will be a fabulous been in another year or so.
