Coming Home Holiday Ale (2012)

This years version is an American-Style Barley Wine brewed with Southern Idaho 2-row pale malted barley combined with German and Belgian speciality malts to produce a mahogany to dark ruby red color, generous malt body and pleasing sweetness.

The malt is balanced by about five pounds of bold American hops per barrel. Chinook and Galena, hops developed and grown in Idaho, along with Idaho grown Bravos and Washington Simcoes give this strong ale a decidedly American flavor.

Piney floral hops are evident when this beer is enjoyed fresh. Collaring will enable those flavors to mellow, allowing the malt to shine with additional notes of raisin and fig.

Barley Wine and Cave-Aged Gouda are a classic pairing. If a sweet dessert is what you crave, try pairing with a warmed pecan pie served al a mode. Show Less
