American Barleywine 11.5 º 15 IBU

AF Brew

This celebratory American Barleywine offers a complex sensory tapestry, blending traditional hop intensity with decadent adjuncts. Deep copper and viscous, it opens with a powerful aroma of resinous hops intertwined with the sweet, woody depth of maple syrup and dark, sticky Jujube dates. The inclusion of anaerobic Ethiopian coffee introduces vibrant berry-like acidity and fermented fruit notes rather than traditional roasted char. On the palate, a massive malt backbone supports aggressive hop bitterness, while the maple and dates provide a rich, chewy sweetness. It finishes with a lingering, velvety warmth and a nuanced, fruity complexity befitting its high strength.

Appearance. Color is a deep copper with vibrant ruby highlights (SRM 16); clarity is good, showing noticeable legs on the glass. It supports a moderately low, light tan head with fair retention.

Aroma. High intensity featuring a complex marriage of citrusy and resiny hops with rich, bready malt. Distinctive sweet maple and concentrated dark fruit notes from Jujube dates are prominent. The anaerobic Ethiopian coffee contributes unique floral and fermented berry aromatics rather than roasted notes. Low esters and clean alcohol warmth are present.

Taste. Initial impression is of rich malty sweetness and woody maple, immediately countered by aggressive hop bitterness. Flavors of dark stone fruit and dates meld with the bright, fruity acidity of the coffee. The malt character is bready and toasty without roast. The finish is long and warming, balancing residual sweetness with a firm, drying hop presence.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and exceptionally chewy with a luscious, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate to low. Significant but smooth alcohol warmth is present, providing a soothing sensation without being solventy or harsh.
