COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Barley Wine is back on tap after a two year wait. At 12% Abv., this is our strongest beer ever. Dangerously smooth for its strength, this is a malt balanced beer that is a perfect winter warmer. Served in a snifter to enhance the aroma.

Tap. Good sweet fruity notes for aroma with a hint of alcohol. Amber body with dirty white head. Sticky sweet fruity flavor. Chewy texture to body that is smooth and a bit dry on the palate. Alcohol shot on the finish a good brew

Hazed deep amber with a creamy white head and lace. Cherry sweet, light medicine, and abv on the nose. Grainy maltiness, semi-sweet start with a hard hop bitter. Almost fuel oil smooth carbonation but a tad too slick. Very different not your grandfathers bw.
