Common descriptors are
We will be releasing our first high alcohol beer, Old 392, which is named after House Bill 392 that was passed into law allowing beer over 6% alcohol in North Carolina. Barleywines are brewed with traditional beer ingredients but with a high alcohol content that gives the finished beer some wine like characteristics. Old 392 is a rich, chewy, amber colored beer with a warm, alcohol taste, a piney hop aroma and a dry finish. It is unfiltered, dry hopped and weighs in at 9.3% alcohol by volume.
