English Barleywine 13 º

Aslin Beer Company

This decadent English Barley Wine presents a masterclass in barrel-aged complexity, elevated by the lush additions of Indonesian and Tahitian vanilla. Rich aromas of raisin and toffee emerge from the deep mahogany liquid, intertwined with a distinct marshmallow fluff sweetness and buttery caramel. The influence of the Bourbon barrels provides a sophisticated structure, contributing light oak tannins and a smooth spirituous warmth that balances the dense malt profile. Each sip delivers a luxurious, multi-layered experience where the dark-fruit esters harmonize perfectly with the aromatic spice and creamy depths of the premium vanilla beans, finishing with a lingering, vinous elegance.

Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark brown with ruby highlights (20-22 SRM). Pours with a low, tan head that settles quickly into a fine rim, showing significant viscosity and visible legs on the glass. Brilliant clarity.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant aromas of rich toffee, caramel, and marshmallow fluff. The Indonesian and Tahitian vanilla provides a floral and creamy bouquet. Deep malt notes of toasted bread and dark fruit, specifically raisin and prune. Moderate bourbon character with light oak and a soft, rounded alcohol presence. Very low earthy hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is intensely malty and sweet. Layers of toffee, caramel, and dark fruit (raisin, fig) dominate. The vanilla provides a dessert-like complexity reminiscent of marshmallow. Moderate bourbon and light oak tannins provide balance to the sweetness. Low bitterness ensures a malt-forward profile. The finish is long and lingering with a pleasant vinous quality and warming alcohol.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Low carbonation enhances the creaminess. Significant alcohol warmth is present but smooth and well-integrated. No astringency.
