Description
Santa Fe Brewing Company is New Mexico's oldest and most award-winning microbrewery. We brew in Santa Fe, serve in our taprooms in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, and distribute around the southwest. We're known for our iconic flagships like Santa Fe Gold, State Pen Porter, and Happy Camper IPA, but we always have something new and exciting on tap or up our sleeves. Easygoing and ready to explore; rooted in New Mexico, hand-crafted, sustainably canned, and up for adventure.

Bottle as shown thanks to Kendall. Pours a murky brown with medium creamy beige head leaving sticky lacing along the glass. Thick mouthfeel with light roasted malt and caramel with light tartness in the finish. Hides alcohol decently, a good barley wine from Santa Fe.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of Pinball. Pours a hazy deep amber with an off-white head. Very sweet and oaky Bourbon aroma. Rich body, thick burned caramel, slightly woody with a massive booziness. A very typical US-style Barleywine. Nice alright but perhaps a little rough and unrefined. 250213

Tap @ brewery. Pours a clear, dark brown appearance with a thin, brown head. Super spicy, piney hoppy, burnt chocolate aroma. Quite bitter, very piney, a touch minty, charred, chocolate malty flavor. Overdone in multiple aspects.
