2019 Barleywine

This Barleywine hides its strength well, and despite its significant ABV it lacks the thick body and sugary sweetness that might be expected. The predominant aroma is bready, toasty malt with fruity esters of cherry and pear that become more evident as the beer warms. The flavor is rich with malt tones of bread crust and graham cracker and background notes of floral and citrusy hops. A medium body and mild malt sweetness is cut by a noticeable bitterness and hints of alcohol warmth, both of which make this beer easy drinking despite its strength. Show Less
