Our North American style barley wine is bold yet smooth with notes of dried fruit and toffee, embedded in a rich malt body. Designed to be shared with friends, this was a style first crafted as Spinnakers Christmas Ale in October 1984 by brewer Brad McQuhae.

Pours with an excellent beige foam and a clear deep burnt sienna body. Has an aroma of good simple malt character with no sign of the alcohol. Flavour is smooth barley, not overly sweet nor cloying and the alcohol is invisible. Mouthfeel is warming and full. This is a nice barleywine, not as high alcohol as others but nice to drink though also pretty simple.
