Tasting Notes
Touch of sweet bread, but tangerine showed through (maybe even a very slight onion)
54% Rahr Pale Ale Male (10#)
43% Wyermann Vienna (8#)
3% Honey Malt (8 ounces)

16.5 AAU Summit (60 minutes)
9 AAU Centennial (60 minutes)
1 ounce Summit (20 minutes)
1 ounce Centennial (Dry Hop)

Mashed at 151° for 60 minutes, double batch sparge.
Didn't have a good oxygen delivery system back then, but I did stir the hell out of it in attempt to oxygenate well (insufficient I am sure).


I brewed this beer 5 years ago and it is still one of my best accomplishments. This was a malt bill that I created on the spot at Midwest, as I was in the neighborhood without a plan. After I got home and looked to see what I had for hops, I decided to do a Barleywine. Still today this is my favorite Barleywine recipe.
