barley wine
Potent amber brew
Barley wine is a strong ale, typically 8-12% alcohol, with a rich, malty sweetness and complex flavors that develop with aging.
Despite the name, it contains no grapes—"wine" refers to its elevated alcohol content and sipping character.
British versions tend toward toffee and fruit notes; American versions often feature aggressive hops.
This barley wine has been cellaring for three years.
