- Tasting Notes
- Strong, malty, strong hop presence without being harsh. Age it a while
From tasting at kegging, this has to be the best barleywine that I have ever made. It is definately strong at 11.9%, but it is attenuated well (76% @ 1.024) is rich with malt, but has a strong hop backbone to balance. This beer should be great in a year or so.
I used a mix of British Pale malt, American Pale Ale malt, and American 2-row (mostly so I wouldn't use up half a bag of one of my malts ) and it ended up being a pretty good choice. The malt flavor is there and it is not buried by the crystal or hops. I went light on the crystal at 5% of the grain bill and made up the rest with a little Aromatic malt and some Flaked Barley for extra body without the sweetness. This beer is great at kegging, and just needs age to mellow. I expect this beer should be great in a year or so when the alcohol and malt can settle down.
