Auburn Alehouse Old Prospector - Zin Barrel (-2016) Auburn Alehouse (CA) Auburn, California
Beer style: Barley Wine / Wheat Wine / Rye Wine Ref: ratebeer.com May2024
Common descriptors are Dark and complex, this strong ale was brewed to wine strength using copious amounts of malt and hops. Aging for several months has mellowed this "old prospector" into a smooth and rich ale, perfect for sipping on a cold winter’s night. Dark crystal malts lend a toasted malt sweetness with flavors of raisins and plums, while Magnum and Cascade hops balance this full bodied malt brew with a clean bitterness and hop aroma.
Editor: per brewer versions prior to 2017 were all aged in Zinfandel Barrels. |
