Message verbalessence beers 1 º places 3 º 03:25 Tue 1/14/2014 Originally posted by fiulijn I find blue cheese to be too aggressive for matching with red wine; I prefer to have a sweet white, or a watered down peaty Islay whiskey. I don’t know anything about the history of Stilton and Barleywine but I do know blue cheeses and peated whiskey are a match made in heaven (doesn’t have to be watered down though), so I reckon a barrel agec peated stout might work very well too

Message _angst_ P beers 5019 º places 97 º 00:25 Wed 1/29/2014 Had to try this and the stars aligned yesterday evening when I decided to open a bottle of Green Flash Barleywine from 2012 and just happened to have a small piece of extra mature Stilton in the fridge. Sure, not the traditional mix with an American Style Barley Wine but still a great match. The cheese really blended well with the caramel sweetness and pine bitterness of the beer.
