Barley wine was brewed from a range of ingredients, but our favourite is the English variant of this beer. Our barley wine is made exclusively from English ingredients. The residual sweetness is high, and with a few years of maturation those noble oxidisation flavours emerge. Sherry and liquorice are desirable characteristics of this fine, well-matured barley wine.

Bottled 750ml (AIH53, from VM, BB 2034, vintage 2014)
Dark ruby color, not much head. Aroma has toffee, alcohol and bread. Full-bodied. Toffeish, warming, liquorice, quite strong grassy hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste. Lowish carbonation. Kind of old skool barley wine. Ok. In one year not much change I believe.
