Our American-style Barleywine undergoes a three hour boil to intesify the caramel malts and the enormous Pacific Northwest hop charge. The result is a rich, estery brew with toffee notes and citrus hop flavors layered throughout. Enjoy this brew fresh today or lay it down for aging to see how the flavors of each vintage evolve.

Vintage 2010, blue label. The beer starts intense sticky. Round and deep, refreshing with a nice and deep roasted body. Lots of sticky grain in the aftertaste, Sweetish with bitter hops. Deep, rich and sticky sweetish. Nice.

Draft at City Tap House. Dark amber, tight silky head. Boozy, malty aroma, mildly sweet. Taste leads with the booze, some nice caramelly malts, molasses and toffee. Warmth and plenty of it.

Draught at Harry’s Hofbrau. Weirdly pleasing blend of both rich caramel malt and citrus hops. Clear copper with surprisingly well retained white head. Flavor follows aroma, but there is a sharp bitterness on the back half of the palate that prevents this from being top notch. Meadow and fresh cut grass appear in the flavor as it warms. tasty.

Hazy red. Big malts, fruity with oxidation notes, big grassy bitterness. A bit brutal, but still good.

66 cl bottle at Irreale, Madrid. Pours cloudy dark amber with fawn head. Aroma is extremely complex and intense: Pedro Ximenez, figs, dates, quince custard, strawberry jam, ripe banana... Taste is complex as well. At once fresh, metallic, sweetish and very bitter, with a long aftertaste that lasts long, long, long.
