English Barleywine 11 º 50 IBU

BramBrass

This English Barley Wine offers a sumptuous sensory journey, defined by its opulent malt backbone and extensive Armagnac barrel aging. Deep aromas of burnt sugar, toffee, and rich English crystal malts mingle with the sophisticated spirit character of the single barrel, yielding notes of dried plum, apricot, and seasoned oak. The 11% ABV provides a velvety, radiating warmth that complements a luscious, chewy texture. On the palate, complex layers of fruitcake and marmalade are balanced by a refined, vinous finish, where the Armagnac’s grape-brandy elegance elevates the traditional bready and caramel-forward profile into a truly magical, potion-like experience.

Appearance. Deep copper to dark brown with ruby highlights (16–22 SRM); brilliant clarity; low, off-white head with minimal retention and prominent legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity; very rich and strongly malty with layers of toffee, caramel, and toasted bread; moderate dark fruit esters of fig and raisin; significant Armagnac influence providing notes of grape-brandy, vanilla, and seasoned oak; low floral hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is a complex, multi-layered malty sweetness featuring biscuit and deep toffee flavors; high dark fruit character suggesting marmalade and dried cherries; moderate-low bitterness provides balance without being sharp; the finish is moderately sweet and vinous with a lingering Armagnac spirit character and oak tannin.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture; low to moderate carbonation; pronounced but smooth and rounded alcohol warmth; minimal astringency.
