Barleywine 10 º

Barley

Barley BB10° (Dexi) is an opulent English Barley Wine that marries traditional rich maltiness with the unique vinous character of Cannonau grapes and zesty orange peels. The aroma is a complex tapestry of deep caramel, toffee, and dark dried fruits, further lifted by citrus oils and a wine-like elegance. On the palate, a luxurious, chewy body carries flavors of toasted bread and marmalade, transitioning into a sophisticated grape-must sweetness and a soft, warming alcoholic finish. The integration of the grapes adds a subtle tannic structure and red fruit depth, while the orange peel provides a bright counterpoint to the dense, multi-layered malt profile.

Appearance. Deep ruby to dark mahogany (approx. 18-22 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features a thin, creamy off-white head with modest retention, showing visible legs on the glass due to the high viscosity and 10% ABV.

Aroma. High intensity with a rich, bready, and caramel-like malt foundation. Strong fruitiness manifests as dark cherries and plums from the Cannonau grapes, layered with a distinct, marmalade-like citrus note from the orange peels. Hop aroma is low and earthy, complemented by a soft, rounded alcoholic presence and a vinous, port-like character.

Taste. A multi-layered initial impression of biscuit and toffee malt sweetness. The mid-palate is defined by complex fruitiness including raisins and red wine grapes. Orange peel adds a bright, zesty character and moderate bitterness that balances the heavy malt. The finish is moderately sweet and vinous, with lingering dark fruit and a clean, integrated alcohol presence.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, enhancing the beer's weight. A smooth, significant alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, lacking any harsh or burning qualities.
