Allsopp's Arctic Ale
English Barleywine 11 º
Allsopp’s Arctic Ale is a monumental English Barley Wine that commands attention with its eleven percent alcohol content and profound historical depth. This faithful recreation delivers a sensory experience defined by layers of rich caramel and concentrated dried fruit notes, such as raisins and currants. The malt profile is deeply complex, balanced by a significant hop presence that provides structure without overwhelming the velvety sweetness. Subtle vinous qualities and a sophisticated, well-integrated alcohol warmth emerge as it breathes, reminiscent of a fine fortified wine. It stands as a luscious, chewy sipper, offering a harmonious blend of earthy English hop character and decadent, toasty malt intensity.
Appearance. Deep copper to dark brown with brilliant ruby highlights; low off-white head with modest retention; high viscosity and alcohol content create visible legs on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity; rich caramel and toffee malt dominance with significant dried fruit esters of plum and fig; earthy and floral English hop notes; soft, rounded, and warming alcohol presence.
Taste. Intensely malty with an initial impression of rich caramel sweetness; multi-layered biscuit and dark fruit flavors; firm bitterness provides balance against the high gravity; finish is moderately sweet with lingering vinous and toffee notes.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a luscious, velvety texture; low to moderate carbonation; significant but smooth alcohol warmth that coats the palate without being harsh.
