Labeled "wine" because if it's higher alcohol content, this deep, brown ruby-colored, beer is a grain monster. Starting with English pale malts and followed by caramel malts, both Dark and Light Crystal malts, and roasted barley, this American style barleywine is the perfect tasting finish to a long work week. Put your feet up. Relax. Enjoy. No, seriously. Do it.

Hops - Columbus, Cascade.

31/8/2025. Bottle shared by Colin, cheers. Pours clear very dark brown with minimal head. Aroma is toffee, biscuit, chocolate, malted, toasted, dried fruits, musty edge. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium to full bodied, smooth, soft carbonation. Aged. Good complexity.

Pours coppery red with a fluffy white head. Aroma of ferrous malt. Taste has intensely ferrous malt, strangely fruity, sweet malt. Palate has more ferrous, nutmeg, spiced notes. Good.
