Wanderlust 30: Port Barrel-Aged Barleywine

This barleywine was brewed in honor of Jul, a term used for the Christmas holiday season in Scandinavia.

We leaned heavily into a variety of malts, including German Chocolate, Canadian Honey, Victory, and Maris Otter to create a full-bodied ale. We then added Chinook & East Kent Golding hops before aging it for 13 months in Spanish Tawny port barrels. This combination creates big aromatics reminiscent of holiday treats like jammy plums, sugary dates, dark cherries, and baked apples. The tart tannic notes that hit your nose cut through rich, figgy sweetness. Settle in and let the warming sensation of this brew carry you off to your fondest holiday memories. Show Less
