Barleywine 14.5 º

Aslin Beer Company

Corolla is a decadent, barrel-aged interpretation of an English Barley Wine, defined by its massive 14.5% ABV and lavish conditioning on toasted coconut. The sensory experience opens with an aromatic flood of coconut macaroons, rich toffee, and dark fruit esters reminiscent of figs and raisins. On the palate, a thick, chewy body delivers deep layers of caramel and vanilla, seamlessly integrated with charred oak and a smooth, vinous warmth from the spirit barrel. The toasted coconut provides a creamy, nutty depth that complements the malt-forward profile, leading to a long, lingering finish of sweet treacle and soft wood tannins.

Appearance. Deep copper to dark mahogany with brilliant ruby highlights; a thin, creamy tan head that dissipates quickly, leaving moderate lacing and visible legs due to the high alcohol and coconut oils.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant aromas of toasted coconut and vanilla from the barrel, layered over a rich malt base of caramel, toffee, and dried dark fruits like raisins and figs. A soft, rounded alcohol warmth is present alongside faint earthy hop notes.

Taste. Initial impression is richly sweet and malt-forward with complex layers of treacle, biscuit, and burnt sugar. The toasted coconut provides a nutty, macaroon-like flavor that blends into barrel-derived vanilla and oak. Hop bitterness is low to moderate, serving only to balance the significant gravity. The finish is long and warming with a vinous, sherry-like character.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and exceptionally chewy with a luscious, velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, and a significant, smooth alcohol warmth is felt without being harsh or fusel. Low astringency.
